Today I went to a baby shower for my neighbor. I was looking around on etsy a few weeks ago for some fun baby gifts, and ended up deciding to make my own. I found a couple people who were selling soft stuffed baby blocks in various patterns and realized I could make them quickly and easily!
Directions:
- Cut 6 - 3"x3" squares for each block.
- Using a 3/8" seam allowance (no smaller if using minky) sew 4 squares into a loop. Start and stop seams 3/8" from edges.
- Pin 5th square around the top and sew to all sides, being careful not to make tucks where all 3 seams come together.
- Repeat with 6th block, leaving a 2" opening for turning in the center of one side.
- Turn, pushing corners out to a point.
- Stuff with a fluffy filling of your choice.
- Sew closed with a discreet whip stitch.
- Optional: Cut 2-3" pieces of sturdy ribbon or binding, fold in half, and sew into seams to create loops. Add a squeaker or bell to the center of the stuffing, making sure to leave a big enough opening for turning to fit it through.
