Perfect for your beginning sewer!
1/4" seam allowance included
♥ Cut out along outside line of Octopus and Fish
♥ Place front and back together right sides facing
♥ Sew around outside edge, leaving a small opening at the octopus body and each tentacle (only one small opening in the fish body)
♥ Clip seam allowance at curves (especially between tentacles or it will pull funny) making sure not to cut your stitching
♥ Turn right side out, using your finger to smooth out seams
♥ Stuff with your favorite stuffing (I recycled plastic bags by stuffing them in the octopus' tentacles so it crinkles) and hand sew openings
♥ Pat yourself on the back for a good job, give them a squeeze and play hard!:)
