They’ll have a blast. Also, these are perfect for homemade Christmas gifts, so if you’re looking for something creative and cute to give a special child for the holidays, this collection has you covered. d.) Turn the pieces right side out and stuff. Use tweezers to stuff the bill since it is too small for your finger to go it. f.) Pass the needle through the button eye and pull. The eye will sink into the face. How much to pull will depend on how deep you want the eye to be sunken in. Knot. Repeat the same to the other eye. Half fill the foot area with stuffing ( polyester or lambswool) up to the heel. If you don’t have any toy stuffing you can use dried rice, it won’t feel soft and squishy, but your animal will stand up better! Just so you know how little he was, adult penguins aren’t that large, measuring just about 13” or merely over a foot tall. So that little penguin was really a little one, waddling twice as fast just to keep up with the adults.

c.) Whipstitch or blanket stitch around until about 1″ away from the starting stitch. Stuff some poly-fill. From cute bunnies and kawaii kittens to narwhals and snow dudes, there is something here for everyone to love. We’ve done a dinosaur, so why not a dragon? Honestly, people are not going to believe this one is homemade. He looks so perfect, and you can do several of these in different colors, or in different sizes. Use buttons for the eyes, but if you’re making this for a baby, I recommend sewing in the eyes in freehand instead of buttons. You could customize this in a number of different ways and it would still be just as adorable. If you're adding other features with materials such as felt or buttons, they can be whip stitched into place or attached with fabric glue. One by one the adult penguins emerged from the sea, carrying big fish in their beaks. They sat down on the ice to feast and didn’t share any of their catch with Pixie. The little penguin’s stomach began to growl louder, and she knew that she had to find a way to find food soon.

What you'll need:

b.) Pull the thread after stitching about 1″. If you want to slip stitch loosely for the entire opening, make sure you pull the thread in section to avoid thread breaking. Actually, there’s an Olaf the snowman from every little girl’s favorite movie. Some of them need to be sewn and some require just a few steps, so whatever you’re looking to make, I’ve got something in here that’s perfect for your next project. d.) Continue to stitch to close-up the opening. Knot the thread and hide it inside the body. Massage the body to release any lumps of the poly-fill, shape accordingly. These are great for those cold snowy days when you just don’t want to get the kids out of the house. Let them help.

e.) Repeat a) to d) to make the toes for the penguin, but this time the cleave is swallower by half.

Put on some blusher on the cheek. You can use the real blusher in the cosmetic or use pink fabric ink from the stamping pad. Finally, she reached the shallowest part of the river and stared intently into the crystal clear waters for fish. There they were, swimming unsuspectingly, not knowing that there was a hungry penguin eyeing them from above. The fish in the river were rarely hunted by the penguins, and so they were not used to swimming fast and being on the lookout for large predators. This made them easy targets for Pixie. STUFFING: always massage the stuffing to loosen out lumps. Long tubular parts should be rolled with both hands so any lumps will be smooth, and help to make the parts longer and firmer.
