Bird On A Spool
He's a primitive black bird with a gold star print and tea dyed wings, and from his beak he holds a spool of thread. He'll hold your pins while you sew because he's resting an old spool wrapped in a tape measure held with a rusty safety pin.

Whatsit
Whosit Whatsit--I really don't know. I got up one morning and looked in the mirror (without my glasses, of course) and when I began to sew he just happened! His suit is a primitive sugar sack, he has short arms and very long legs and a very tall head. He looks so sad because no one wants him. Won"t you please adopt him and make him happy again?
