Today was attempt #2 at making baby toys. I had some leftover scraps of fabric from my Christmas stocking project so I threw together a little plushy to try out one of my designs.
She is a 'Sleepy Doll'. One side has the open black eyes you see above, while the other side has a sleepy face, shown below.
The women at the fabric store told me that fleece doesn't fray, but they are big liars (no offense). Felt would be a better option for these, but I cant find any really soft felt with nice patterns around town. I originally wanted to do a more elaborate face, but after attaching the Safety eyes I just couldn't add more. She is so cute the way she is! I gave her to baby Z to do the initial test run, and after a minute of poking at the eyeballs and touching the feet, she tossed my beloved little plushy right over her shoulder and went back to playing with a piece of snotty tissue paper. Oh well. Maybe some other kid will appreciate my homemade toys.
