My latest attempt on the Lathe. Not sure whether the wood is Sycamore or Lime.

One of my wife's colleagues sadly had a stroke recently, she is a big Moomin fan and my wife asked if I could make her a couple of Moomin figures to cheer her up. I've never made a Moomin before but they seem to have turned out okay.

Nice work. Thanks for reminding me about the indalo. Could you turn round bar tight enough to make the head too? Would look cool out of like material imho.
Second attempt

As you can see, I've not torn, but unstitched that part of one of my waistcoats. Silly me wrenched at it to get it off one of those rubber coated 'super grippy' clothes hangers, resulting in that happening. My question is, is it worthwhile me trying to sew it back, or should I get it done professionally? There's a shop next to the one I work in that does alterations, repairs etc, but she'a quite expensive and none too friendly, may I add. My thoughts are that if I attempt it the gold material used for the back of the waistcoat will fray,resulting in the stitch holes coming apart.🤔

Unless you're a real dab hand with a needle, I'd suggest you get the repair done by someone who knows what they're doing. On a cheaper item of clothing, it doesn't matter too much, but I know that you'll have dropped a fair wodge of cash on that, so it seems a shame to ruin it by botching the repair.
