This week we’ll show you how to make a fun and customizable stuffed toy also called a plush, plushie, or stuffie using a downloadable pattern and hand sewing techniques. • This project is great for beginners and uses a running stitch around the edges to sew the plushie together. The pattern has 3 basic shapes but can be adjusted and combined to make a variety of plushie styles. Download the pattern at https://bit.ly/idealabplushie. • Learn more about ideaLAB programs and spaces at denverlibrary.org/idealab. • Tag us in your makes on social media with #idealabmakes! • Join us on Saturday, December 5, 2020 at 2 PM MST for a live online workshop where you can make the project along with an instructor.
