Tutorial and Pattern: Mushroom Softie

I made this little (10 inches/25 cm tall) mushroom out of scraps from a felted wool blanket, but felted sweater wool would work just as well.

How-to:

#1: Print off pattern (pdf embedded below or go here) and cut out pieces from light to medium weight felt.

#2: Sew one cap piece to one stem piece. Repeat with second pair.

#3: Sew spots to front of cap using blanket stitch and lightweight yarn.

#4: Right sides together, sew stem/cap pairs together. Leave at least a 4 inch (10cm)  gap at the very top of the cap for turning and stuffing.

#5: Trim excess felt away from seam allowances. Turn right side out.

#6: Stuff firmly. Slip stitch opening closed.
