Stuffed
Ball
First
step for this stuffed ball project is to create a ball pattern piece.
Using a piece of paper, create an oval shape with a pointed end. The
length should be about 6 1/2 inches from tip to tip. You can fold your
paper in half and use the fold line to create the bottom half of your
pattern. After it is cut out you can unfold your paper and have a whole
piece.
After cutting out your pattern, use
the pattern to cut out 6 pieces from your material. I will
take you through the directions with pictures now.
You will need:
Fleece material
~ For fun try 2
coordinating colors of material.
Pin two shapes together and
sew
along edges.
Continue with one
more piece until you have 3 pieces sewn together. Set aside.
Using the 3 other pieces, sew together as done previously. Now you will
have two
halves of the ball.
Sew two ball halves together
down
edges. On the final side leave a small opening in the middle for
stuffing, as shown above.
Stuff ball with batting or
old
pieces of material then hand sew opening closed.
Leave
your ball as is to play with or it is a good starter for the following
stuffed animal sewing project.
