Turtle

From Bend-the-Rules Sewing I made the next toy, a stuffed turtle. I used some blue and orange corduroy that I had in my fabric box.

First I traced and cut the blue body parts



The top is one piece and the bottom is two, the top has darts sewn in.



The legs, head and tail are traced and the legs are sewn together.



The legs are then cut, turned and stuffed. The head is three piece sewn together and the tail failed, I switched to a small felt piece. Once all the parts are together the turtle is sandwiched together.



The turtle is then turned and looks quite turtle like.



Next its stuffed and the stomach hole is hand sewn shut.



The final touch is to add some eye so the turtle can see and then he is complete.
