  Step 1

  Trace or draw your letter. The size is entirely up to you but you would want a stuffed letter that you can hang nicely on a wall. Make sure that the pieces are opposites. You don’t want your pen marks to be visible.

• 

  Step 2

  Take the front part and start to embellish. Go crazy! Or not. Wonderful embellishment ideas are beads, sequins, pretty lace, and small toys. You may also use a particular theme or design the letter according to the baby’s gender.

• 

  Step 3

  Attach the handle to the back letter. You can use ribbon or string.

• 

  Step 4

  Now we’re ready to stitch ‘em letter parts together. We will do this using blanket stitch. I know that the one I made for Rhiane wasn’t fastened using blanket stitch. In fact, I don’t know what kind of stitch I used for that one.

  Start with one end of your letter and blanket stitch by section (around 4 inches per section).

• 

  Step 5

  Stuff this section with fiberfill. Once the section is perfectly plump, pin the parts together to keep the fiberfill in place.

• 

  Step 6

  Continue stitching and filling another section (both edges of the letter). Work your way around your letter until you reach the end.

• 

  Step 7

  Don’t forget to leave allowance for your final fiberfill-filling. Lock it with more blanket stitch and you’re done!

• 

  Step 8

  HANG.
