Feltie Crafting

I made this little feltie Totoro for a two-year old's birthday party I was invited to. I made the whole thing over two days. It is all hand-stitched (which was very good practice for remembering how to do different kinds of stitches). I found a coloring page that I used as a pattern to cut out the right shapes. I also kinda followed along with some instructions I found on Pinterest but they were in Japanese! Thank goodness for pictures! I made this Totoro with a pocket behind the white belly. I was thinking it would make a cute tooth fairy pillow...

On the backside you can see the tail. I also stitched in the kiddo's initials since it looked like it needed just a little something extra on the back. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!
My kids liked it too and now they're asking for their own felties!!
