On a whim I decided to make two stuffies as part of a shower gift for my childhood bestie, who is having a little boy. The giraffe is still sitting next to the sewing machine, unstuffed. But I think the whale turned out pretty stinkin' cute! I didn't use any sort of pattern. Just folded a piece of fabric in half and cut out a whale-ish shape. Added some ribbon for his blow hole spout thingy (clearly I am all over technical terms!), sewed, stuffed and then hand sewed his tummy. If I ever make this again, I will try to remember to make the tale fins a bit wider. Not going to lie, it was a pain in the patootie to turn the curvy tail right side out. But as usual, a pilfered chop stick saved the day. Pretty cute, right? I mean, I'm no FAO, but not bad for an on-the-fly project.
