Make an Upcyceld Snuggle Doll

I recently made this sweet little snuggle doll as a gift for a little guy I miss.  This is an easy, last minute gift to make. 

First, take a soft felted sweater and cut a part of the sleeve.  Mine is a super soft cashmere and it's cut from the end of the sleeve at the cuff. Then I cut a small oval out of it.  I cut another gray/beige oval for the face.  Again, I used cashmere but you can use any upcycled wool or wool felt.

 I sewed two brown eyes with embroidery floss.  I also sewed a bit of hair to the face.

Then I pinned it and sewed around the face. I stuffed it with bamboo stuffing and blanket stitched the bottom and top.  Then I felt like he need to be a little more dressed up.

I apologize for this pic, by this point it was dark outside.  I made a hat and little pouch/ sweater out of purple cashmere.  The hat is made from a hem and I used a running stitch to scrunch it at the hat's point. I blanket stitched the side. For the pouch/ sweater, also a sleeve, I blanket stitched the bottom and turned it over at the top to form a cuff.

Lastly, I sewed the hat and sweater on with little stitches on the sides.  I think it's pretty cute!  I hope my little guy loves it.

Until next time...
