Lil' Stuffie

This is my first stuffed toy effort ever! I think he's pretty charming and he's destined for my new 3 day old nephew.

I didn't use a pattern, just traced an outline and started sewing. I'm new to embroidery too, so the face was the first time I've applied felt.

He makes me laugh! His name is Berkie, because that's what my brother and his wife called their son when he was in utero.

Presenting! Berkie!

I'm all inspired to make more! I guess I'll start with toys for my own neglected kids. ha ha.
