My oldest son is obsessed with Pokemon. We play it, watch it, and talk about it non-stop. My three-year-old was calling his yellow stuffed Biscuit dog Pikachu. I’ve made stuff toys before so I thought I would make him a Pikachu.
I dug through my thrift store donation bags until I found a yellow shirt.
This was a very interesting shirt as you can see. I cut a rectangle out of the bottom of the shirt. I sewed a straight line along the bottom seem. Next, I made little arms by make two smaller rectangles.
I sewed shapes that look similar to Pikachu ears and stitched them to the part I had already sewed up. The arms were attached before stuffing the body.
I thought about making his tail but I decided it would be much more simple to draw it.
After I had attached the ears, arms, and drawn the face and back, I stuffed the pillow using an old pillow.
I stitched him up and he was done. My older son needed one too of course so I decide Charmander would be the easiest. I did basically the same thing with the Charmander pillow except I added a tummy circle.
Don’t be nervous about drawing the faces just watch a step by step how to draw video. Youtube had just about any cartoon you would like to draw.
What character would you like to try?
