sketch a dog or whatever animal on paper. make sure animal is the size of your hand or a little bigger. fold the picture in half so your animal is even on both sides and cut it out.
i folded a piece of felt in half, pinned the dog onto the felt, and started cutting. cutting it this way is never perfect, so just recut the edges that don't look right. you need TWO pieces of every shape.
i cut out a triangle for the nose, tear drop eyes, and pink blush. ignore the 6 dots, was going for whiskers, but it doesn't fit. hahahaha make sure to cut out TWO of each shape. i usually eye ball how big the eyes or other shapes.
i sew it the in and out way...not the over the top way...because you won't see the stitches that much...start sewing from the bottom of the cheek all the way to the other side, but leave an openning for cotton =]
flip it inside out =]
start stuffing =]
add some love =D
this is the tricky part...closing up the hole. it's like your shoes..chucks...when you want to change your shoelances to make them look straight and not zigzag... -poke it over one side so that the needle is on the inside.
the make another poke next to your last poke.
and poke it over the other side so that the needle is again facing the inside
and as you make more stitches, make sure to pull on your thread to tighten it, but becareful of knots and breaking the string =(
loop three knots around needle and pull through to tie. do this about 2 or 3 times to make sure it won't come off. message me if you have problems =\
ta da =] fluffy!
this is two triangle shapes for the nose. start from one corner and sew to the other side, leaving an openning for the cotton =]
stuff with cotton use steps 9-13 on how to close the hole. message me if you have problems =\
poke through the middle of the nose
and then poke through the middle of the doggie's face.
pull the needle through and poke the nose on the same side as the first poke to tie the nose onto the doggie
glue on the eyes and blush =]
cut two dog bones, make sure it's big because i made it a little too small and had a LOT of trouble flipping it inside out.
sewing steps 5-7 closing hole steps 9-13
to attach bone onto the doggie, repeat steps 17-19.
i decided to make spots =] ...but i added too many spots in this photo... glue spots i can't find the finished photo yet =(
and my trademark =] finished!!!!!! =]
