Weekes Beastie With Record - CrawCrafts Beasties

Weekes Beastie

I am hugely unmusical. My singing brings tears to the eyes (not in a good way) and even playing the glockenspiel was beyond me… Despite the fact that the notes are actually written on it. That probably explains why I am so in awe of musicians and what they do – and why I jumped at the chance to make a custom Beastie for London-based singer, musician and songwriter Weekes!

I also embroidered the “Cats” logo onto the front, so it looks like the real deal, and included an embroidered zip detail and a drawstring for the hood.

And to complete her look, check out what she has in her paw!
Pocket Bible Record Sleeve in Felt and Embroidery - CrawCrafts BeastiesThis is a Beastified version of Weekes’ own debut album, “Pocket Bible”, rendered in miniature using appliquéd felt pieces and hand embroidery. And of course, I didn’t send this custom Beastie out into the world clutching an empty vinyl sleeve… There’s totally a record in there!
