That’s my drawing for a sea-horse soft toy for a -not-so-newborn baby of a friend. I’d love to hear your opinions.
I’m thinking of using two or three different fabrics and satin tags for the fins, perhaps some yarn as “hair”.
I know seahorses have spikes and baby would love them, but I doubt I can realistically tackle that level of sewing detail.
What do you think about the overall shape and size? Or anything else I haven’t thought of?
Edit: Working on the picture issue, please hold… :) Edit 2: Picture uploaded, typo corrected.
Thank you all for the suggestions!
A first try on the body revealed the following: the tail is a nightmare to bag out and won’t hold it’s shape in the present state. It needs some kind of support (more than just batting) or to become broader (to accommodate more stuffing). Besides, being so curly, it is perhaps a tad too long to be safe for the baby…
I’ll give it one more day of thought, but I might drop the plan altogether and buy something cute for her or make her an elephant instead.
