Material Cotton wool Felt Sewing thread Hook

Steps of making soft toy For good strong seams use quality thread, a new sharp needle and tightly spaced stitching. Always start and finish off your sewing securely - on a sewing machine, sew back and forwards a few times to begin and end off and for hand sewing, tie double knots. For machine sewing use a ballpoint needle for fleece and a universal/normal needle for corduroy. Check with your sewing shop for the correct needle to use for other fabric types. For hand sewing I like to use Gutterman upholstery quality polyester thread, but most sewing shops will stock a brand of thick strong thread. When washing a soft toy, you will need to unpick your final seam of ladder stitches, remove the stuffing, wash gently in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. You can then reuse the stuffing if you can fluff it out enough or use fresh new stuffing to reassemble your toy.

Personal details and feedback I think this sewing is very interesting, very happy I learned a lot of different stitches, there embroidery stitches, oversewing, I think these stitches hard, because I rarely use these stitches, but soon the teacher taught me carefully learn, so I have different views on the sewing.
