Totoros

[aurora-phoenix.livejournal.com]

My son's favorite movie is My Neighbor Totoro. I looked everywhere I could think to find a decently priced stuffed Totoro to give him for his birthday but couldn't find anything. Inspired by something I found on ebay I came up with these. They are my first attempt at making anything of this sort so my machine embroidery is a bit crooked, but otherwise I'm very pleased with the outcome. He was too!

The bottoms are a bit puckery in the photos because they were pinned shut rather than sewn. Once I sewed the bottoms shut the edge smoothed out.
