Pentapus

I made this octopus (or pentapus, as someone pointed out) for my husband for Valentine's Day, because he likes octopi and loves the Detroit Pistons. The arms were quite hard to stuff and I had to reinforce the areas between the arms. The hat was a new addition, but it was pretty easy to sew and use a blanket stitch to create some contrast.

My first feltie!

It makes perfect sense that my first feltie would be a penguin, because I love penguins. Aside from looking a bit crippled, I think my feltie turned out pretty well. I researched everyone else's penguin and made my own pattern and sewed it by hand.
