Make a Comment ( 3 so far )More from Ku - a 2D elephant softie that can be enlarged and made into an elephant pillow (and in the original size, I think it would make a really cute brooch!), and a 4-panel Alpaca. Both are very easy to put together and can be entirely hand-sewn {image credit for both: Shishi Girl}:
And here’s what Ku writes about the 4-panel construction: “Two side panels with the proper outline, a belly + inside limbs panel to divide the bottom half into four legs, and a top of the head + inside ears panel to give the head some width and make two ears. Almost any four-legged creature can be made into a simple softie using this approach.” Great tip!
