About the design
Just the right size for snuggling up to, this giant cuddly aquatic pal is going to bring so much joy into your life, it’s unreal. As he’s free from any extra hazardous bits and bobs (his fabric eyes are sewn on tight), he’ll also make a magical gift for a newborn.
To keep the curves of your whale friend smooth, snip small notches into the seam allowance of the convex curves, and small slits in the concave curves. And if you’re looking for the best way to smooth out the turned seams, a chopstick will do the trick.
But our top tip is to take your time when stuffing this majestic beauty – use small pieces and shape the whale as you go, checking all sides constantly.
