Monster stuffy

Saw a similar pillow design in a book so decided to make one in the hoop.   Unfortunately the fleece was too thick to do the final sewing in the hoop but it wasn't too hard to finish with the sewing machine.

Ears and hands were done in one hooping 

The next stuffy/pillow is a Toothless from "How to train your dragon".  The ears and wings are felt.  We didn't have any black felt so covered dark blue felt with black broadcloth. The body needed the 8 x 12 hoop but I did all the wings and ears in one hooping of the 8 x 8.  It was late so forgot to take pictures while in the machine.   The eyes are a mix of appliqué and embroidery.  

Because the wings and ears were thinner I was able to sew the thing together in the hoop. 

Toothless is made out of minky so is very soft.  

After that it was time for a black cat.  

I wanted to keep the ears thin so used felt for the ears

Still no black felt so coveted front and back of the felt with black broadcloth and used a zigzag stitch for the edging. Black embroidery thread in the bobbin.   Ears hooped in 5x7 hoop.    

Eyes are appliqué.  Body done in 8x8 hoop. Stitched  together in the hoop

Lastly a penguin. Running out of black minky so only had enough for the wings and the front.  The back is a coordinating fabric and the white part is eyelet over white felt.  Wings are minky with tear away left in to give it some stiffness.  Wings hooped in 4x4 and the body in 8x8

Here's the group shot
