make a stuffed animal

I needle-felted a small animal out of wool- a character from my comic-strip. I am planning a series once I drum up the confidence!

When i was in middle school we had to make stuffed bears for home-ec class. After I brought mine home, its head kept falling off, but I kept it regardless.

The owl and the rabbit I gave to my brother, and the robin was made for my head of year at school. He is an avid supporter of Bristol City Football Club, and their mascot is a robin :) it was lots of fun making them.

His name is Bob Camel (Joe Camel’s stoner cousin). Ha.

It’s name is Dudester! It took me 1 hour to make. :P

I make stuffed animals for my job. It’s a lot of fun and it’s great to see little kids’ reactions!

Here’s like this really great tutorial on how to make one! It’s what convinced me to do it myself!

Isn’t that white one just the cutest thing one could ever make?:

i finally made something for the first time today. >w<
this is chiyo-chan’s father from the anime azumanga daioh. i made him from an old tshirt.

i bought this really cute book on how to make them from kinokuniya the other day. it’s in japanese, but there are lots of picture. i’ve yet to learn to sew, though. :/

After I stitched the head on upside down I gave up.

Maybe another time…
