How adorable is this giant loch mess moster ?

Created by Hannah From We Lived Happily Ever after, it measure 1 ½ feet tall and 3 feet wide perfect for a nursery or for fun in any room of the house

Materials: 1 ½ yards of felt for the body (you can make it with just 1 yard, but it never hurts to get a little more than you need), a small sheet of pink felt for the patches(the small sheets they sell for about 30 cents), a small sheet of black felt for the eyes and the mouth , stuffing ( a great alternative to expense poly fill is to buying an inexpensive pillow and using the stuffing from that), and threads to match

     1.    Download this pattern piece. Print and cut out the pages, then attach all of the pieces      together

     2   Cut out the pattern pieces from the felt. You need 8 flippers, 1 belly piece and 2 body        pieces.

     3.    Stitch all of the 8 flippers together in pairs of two to make a total of four flippers. Make       sure to leave a small opening on the curved edge of the flipper so you can turn  it inside       out and  stuff it

     4.    Turn the flippers right side out through the opening you left

     5.    Place both of your body pieces on top of each other, and lift up the bottom part. Now lay the belly piece evenly on top of both half’s of the body space

      6.    Sew the belly piece onto the body pieces.

     7.    Sew up the rest of the body, leaving an opening at the neck for stuffing. Turn the body    right side out through the opening

     8.    Time to stuff Neisse. Fill th neck and tail first. You want to make sure to really tuff the      neck super well so that it will stand up straight and be supported. Once you are done            stuffing it, sew up the opening

    9.    Fill your flippers with stuffing, and then position them on Neisse’s body. For the two flippers on each side, make them both face away from each other, pointing out. Slip stitch the flippers to the body

    10. From the black felt , cut out two rectangles for the eyes, and one long strip of fabric for the smile

    11. Roll the rectangles into ball shapes and sew the ball in place until is a complete sphere. Next, position them symmetrically on the face and pin in place. Sew them onto the face

    12. Pin the strip of felt you cut for the smile onto the face. The determine how wide a grin you want Neisse top have on her face cut the corners so that the edges are tilted

    13. Optional : sew in patches. The Neisse shown has layered pink and green hearts on her back.

All done! Enjoy your felt Neisse
