What you need:
☐ Fabric
☐ Sewing machine
☐ Thread
☐ Polyfill, stuffing, scraps, or an old washcloth
☐ Buttons (Optional)
☐ Black or silver sharpie
1. Decide what shape you want your toy to be:
- For a ball, draw a circle with a compass, then outline it with a sharpie.
- For a rectangular thing, draw it out with a ruler.
- For some other shape, freehand it. It shouldn't have too many small details, as this will be hard to sew.
2. Sew on any buttons or decoration you want. Fold the fabric in half, and pin it in the center and along the sides. Cut it out.
3. Turn the fabric bad-side-up, and lay the pieces together and pin them. Sew along the edges, but leave a one inch gap along the side somewhere.
4. Turn the thing inside out, and fill it with whatever you are using as stuffing.
5. Hand sew the hole. Enjoy!
