Prepare the materials for the stuffed animal

For the snake you need a soft fabric with a pattern so that you can tell that it is a snake.

  1. Trial sewing. Do some samples on the sewing machine to see how the fabric will sew.
  2. Cut the fabric. Then cut the fabric to the length of the snake. Also leave a centimeter of seam allowance.
  3. Select the filling of the fabric. A good material for filling is so-called "magic floss" from the craft store, it is washable. Or they use aquarium cotton, which you can get at the hardware store.

Sew the snake yourself

  1. Stake out the fabric. Take the patterned fabric and lay it upside down in front of you. Pin off the fabric with a one-centimeter seam allowance.
    2. Make a cuddly toy out of tights

    You don't have to dispose of your children's old tights. Are these not yet ...

  2. Place blanks on top of each other. Lay the blanks on top of each other so that you have the underside of the fabric on the outside and the top on the inside. You pin this in place with pins. The pins should be attached so that they are perpendicular to the seam so that you can remove them while sewing.
  3. Sew the fabric together.sew The line together. Leave the head of the snake open so you can still fill the snake.
  4. Turn the snake right side out. Now turn the snake right side out so that the seams can no longer be seen.
  5. Fill the queue. When tamping, it is important to tamp firmly with a lot of pressure so that the snake does not lose its shape too quickly.
  6. Sew up the snake's head. After filling, sew the snake's head shut by hand.
  7. Give the snake a face. To hide the seam of the head, cross-stitch a mouth on the snake's head. You can design the eyes according to your wishes.

As you can see, it is very easy to sew a blanket as a stuffed animal for your child.
