Butterbeer the Crab; A tutorial



For a long time now I wanted to do this: A Butterbeer The Crab plushie!



I've taken red felt and started cutting freehand and pattern-less. I draw this little guy often enough! If you want a pattern, ask and I'll draw you one :



I've started stitching the legs (blanket stitch) on the middle, it's easier to fill it after.



I've attached the legs and stitched the body, stitching over one side.



Then I turned Butterbeer around and stitched the holes



Got him some eyes



And pupils



And my signature; Two half moons :) on his butt
