Step 1
choose the fabric you wish to use for your animal of choice.
-
Step 2
draw a basic outline of the shape of the animal or whatever you chose. or, look up a picture of it and get a better idea of the shape. you can also trace the shape onto your fabric from your computer screen
-
Step 3
when you think the shape is good. (draw it a little larger than you think it should be because smaller places may get all yucky.

Step 4
sew it up along the line our drew. make sure you have two pieces of fabric you are sewing (duh) with the good sides facing in. remember to leave a hole so that you can turn it inside out and add stuffing.
-
Step 5
turn it inside out through the hole you conveniently left.
-
Step 6
stuff with toy stuffing. or scraps as i sometimes do. my whale is stuffed with felt scraps and normal stuffing. when they are mixed together it looks like colorful guts. :D
-
Step 7
sew up the hole you used for filling and add fancy stuff. i put two buttons for eyes but there is a ton of stuff you can add to make your stuffie look awesome. get creative.
