First, she picked out fabric. She liked the ribbed knit I had in pink and matched it up with some Sis Boom. We traced and cut out the pattern:
Next we ironed them and pinned and stitched the ears and body. I couldn't take pics of the actual sewing process since I was helping her with "steering" the sewing machine!
She turned the stitched up puppy right side out all by herself and then ironed him!
Next up was stuffing him. I showed her the trick of using the eraser end of a pencil to get the stuffing in small spots.
I whip-stitched the opening (Devon helped for a few stitches) and he was complete! One George the Puppy, made by Devon!!!! (and a little help from mom!)
We are off to make one for Brooklyn now! These are great fun projects for the kids! Better than build-a-bear! Course, now the puppy's will need clothes, huh???????
Hope you are enjoying the weekend!
God Bless,
Cathy Adding in the newest George the Puppy! Get well Brooklyn!
