I followed this lovely lady's tutorial on her thread and made this

ta da....

finished it - golly I was terrified I was gonna muck it up - I was sweating at one point scared to do the next bit but when I was stuck I clicked on the pictures in the tutorial which supersized them and then it made sense - I am sure the words on the own to most people would have done but I just got myself in a muck sweat about it and looking at the fab pictures in the tutorial calmed me - I have still got to stuff it properly yet - its got two bags of pasta in at the mo so they will have to come out - what is best - some folk say cat litter - I dont know the first thing about that as I have a strong aversion to cats!

Wow - that looks good. Think I'll try that shape next.

I used cat litter - 10KG for £1.69 and it works a treat. Won;t attract mice etc either.

really - that is what I was worried about too - thank you = does it smell at all
love your makes esp the chickens - how did you make them - and the pyramids they are cool!

No smell at all, good weight, and moves freely, as well as being cheap!

love your makes esp the chickens - how did you make them - and the pyramids they are cool!

I have tutorials for both if you want them, although the chicken one isn't very brilliant, so I adapted as I went along.

I have sewn before and I was good but it was ages ago so I'm a little worried that I'm taking on more than I can chew. Is it very hard?

It will probably be like riding a bike!
