Hippo Happenings


I sewed poly pellet bags using my sewing machine for the first time--SO much quicker than hand stitching!  I also made square shaped bags instead of trying to make round bags.  They fit just as well in the base of the body/arms.  I decided not to re-stuff the head.  I am still playing around with the arm placement.  Need to make the poly pellet bags for the feet tomorrow.

  2. I need a hippo update! I started a hippo earlier this week--used size 5 needles and sugar and cream (?) cotton yarn, and so far it looks very big! Is yours big?
