For room12 end of year craft we made softies. Softies are little toys that can be shaped as owls and other toys. In our case we made owls. First we had to organize blankets and curtain material,bean bag material and anything we could find to make softies. Then we could practice the running stitch which is a stitch that goes in and out of the fabric. Also we learnt the whip stitch to sew up the bottom when we had finished stuffing our softies. After we finished our practice we planed our owls in our art books and choose the materiel or fabric that where needed.We gathered all the fabrics for the eyes, tails, feet. If we wanted to we could even make capes and hats. Once we finished putting our detail on we turned our fabric in so we could see the wrong side and started to do the running stitch all around the our owls. When we had finished we put in in the right way again, stuffed them and whip stitched them together. We had to make sure none of the stuffing came out. I only lightly stuffed my owl or else it would be a hard owl not a soft owl.
