Stuffed Panda

Canon have a website where you can download and print 3D animals on paper for free.

I tried out a small rabbit, quite fiddly but cute. I thought it maybe interesting to try an animal with fabric instead so I increased the size and tried it out. It was quite tricky as the fabric frayed, so I tried it with this panda using evolon which doesn't fray and stitched it together rather than glueing. I painted the features on. I'd only printed out the head to see how it went but decided to continue with the body....but I must have written down the size I'd increased it by wrongly... it wasn't going to fit the head. So I just made a simple body out of a spoiled t-shirt. His face his cute but could do with a bit more stuffing, as for his body....poor thing.

I made this rabbit out of the leftover scraps from the cushions I recently made. She was a pattern from a magazine, cute eh? She is a little different to the original pattern, for instance the skirt should be made of all the same fabric, but I didn't have a big enough scrap. Likewise the body, and the headband is a little different too.

My son's dog was trying to get hold of her, I don't think she would last long if she did, my hand sewing is not the greatest.

I'm not sure about the whiskers though, what do you think?
