In this class you will create your own stuffed toy that looks exactly like a child's drawing. In the first lesson I offer some guidance in choosing an appropriate drawing to work with, and then take you step by step through the process. You could also create a stuffed animal of your own design!

In order to complete the class project, you will need:

Basic sewing supplies, including thread, needles, pins, scissors, and a sewing machine.
Fabric and stuffing. I will discuss different types of fabrics that could be used as part of the class, but polyester fleece is my preference.
You may also find the following materials helpful: ruler, fabric marker, chopstick, tube turner, access to a photocopier

Essential skills:

You should be familiar with basic hand sewing as well as how to use a sewing machine. Embroidery skills could also be helpful, depending on the drawing you choose to work with.
