Sew the Fuchur stuffed animal from leftovers
As a child you were surely also enchanted by Fuchur, the cute lucky dragon from the "Neverending Story" by Michael Ende. If your own child is also enthusiastic about it, then you can easily sew the adorable Fuchur as a stuffed animal.
Leftovers for a Fuchur stuffed animal - this is how you put them together
If you want to sew a Fuchur stuffed animal from leftovers, then you should go through your leftover box or your wardrobe. Certainly there are some scraps of fabric there that could find a new life in a small fucur.
- White cotton fabrics are very suitable for the body of the kite. Good sources for this are, for example, old bedsheets or no longer wearable white jeans or other cloth trousers. On the other hand, fabrics with a stretch component are not well suited.
- You can also replace the white plush fabric with leftovers. Terrycloths of all kinds are perfect for this, for example. Just use a white towel or bathrobe.
Notes on the pattern for the stuffed animal
First of all, of course, you need a pattern for the Fuchur stuffed animal. You can buy this in various online shops or you can create one yourself. Patterns for dogs, which you can then change accordingly, are particularly suitable as a basis for Fuchur.
