If you promise not to laugh at my bad Frankenstein stitching (this is my first time I did a hand-stitching project; I've been spoiled by my sewing machine, and I'm use to only hand stitching repairs in clothes), I'll show you a cute friend of mine.
A lot of plushies are usually made with a sewing machine, but since my sewing machine is in New York, I decided to try some hand stitched crafts.
Her name is Coconut Creme. She's a bear. I made her with felt, toy stuffing, whipstitches, and love! She has little black beads for eyes and a little snout. She even has eyelashes!

Bum!
Sometimes she's cold, and she likes to wear a scarf. I made a little scarf out of felt, and I embroidered a little heart on it (not well!)

(The whip stitching around the ears is the really bad part of it. xD)
This is my first plush I ever made. I really enjoyed it. I'm going to keep making them and hopefully my whip stitching will improve to something not so insane!
I used this pattern as a base, and got some help from this tutorial, if you're looking to make this too!
