Sew a Felt Flamingo and Pineapple! Hand Sewing for Beginners

This week at Old Spool Sewing Studio I'm bringing you another beginner friendly hand sewing tutorial to make some cute flamingo and pineapple felt stuffies! This project is a bit more advanced that my other hand sewing tutorials because of the shapes we’re sewing, but in the end, we’re doing the same simple combination of a whipstitch and a running stitch to put everything together.
The Materials you’ll need for this project are:
Flamingo and Pineapple sewing patterns, download it above!
Wool or Wool Blend felt (better for the environment than plastic/polyester felt, here’s the small business where I like to buy mine
A hand sewing needle. Size 5 embroidery needles are what I’m using here.
Thread or embroidery floss (again, find it on www.benziedesign.com)
Scissors -Pins or safety pins (optional, but really helpful!)
a writing utensil, such as a sharpie or a pencil
stuffing (try to avoid Poly-fill, that’s plastic! I love the recycled shoddy from Fabscrap )
