Taught by Sanae Ishida
After you complete this charming whale-shaped teether and rattle, you might be making excited high-pitched whale sounds, too. This twofer toy is soft, squishy, soothing, and just plain cute. Sanae Ishida - author, illustrator, and maker of many things - will expertly guide you through seaming small, curved fabric pieces into a three-dimensional object. If you add short strips of ribbon and use fabrics with various textures, it can be a tactile toy as well. Sanae also shares her helpful technique for adding stuffing so that your toy stays fluffy, and you'll learn how to add a wooden teething ring and jingle bells. You won't need much fabric, and you'll be able to turn your fabric scraps into a cherished play friend.
