About this easy sew project.

Most ages can do this project however, some folks may need help with some of the details such as sewing.
To make this project you will need to first download the template. Once downloaded, the template can be used to make the lamb by first tracing and then cutting it out.
Materials needed to make this project.
- Felt- my lamb uses white, beige, pink and black. I suggest that you get a multi pack of felt as it may be easier for you.
- Thread and needle to make the lamb. You can find sewing needles for kids or anyone needing a larger needle here.
- Dried lavender can be found here. Alternative dried flowers can be found here.
- Small craft bow

How to make this DIY Lavender Stuffed Lamb .
Step One: Prepare.
Download the template. I like to print out templates using a thicker paper such as cardstock when I will be tracing and cutting. Then cut out the objects from the downloaded template.
Step Two: trace and cut out the pieces of the lamb.
- Trace and cut out the largest piece which will be the body. Mine is on the white felt.
- Then trace and cut out other elements from the same piece of felt. My lamb has the top of the head the same color as the body, white, so mine has been cut out with the body from the same piece of felt.
- Finish tracing and cutting out the remaining elements from the template using the other colors. This includes the legs, face, and ears.
Step Three: assemble the lamb.
- On one piece of the head you will need to make a face. My eye, nose, and mouth have been sewn on. However, you can use tacky glue to attach yours or even a market can be used instead.
- The legs and the head are two pieces of felt that have been sewn together in my lamb. You can simply use one piece if you want to save time. Otherwise, sew the legs pieces and head pieces together.
- Place the two white pieces back to back. We will now sew the pieces together, leaving space at the bottom to both stuff the lamb and attach the legs. Start sewing from the bottom left corner and sew clockwise until you reach the bottom right corner, leave the bottom open.
- Use a spoon to stuff the lamb with the lavender, do not over-stuff. Then, continue to sew the lamb up, placing the legs in the opening as needed to attach them as well. Make this step easier by using the tacky glue to glue the legs in place first. Then you will just need to sew the bottom of the body together after stuffing in.
Step Four: Finish the lamb.
Finish added the remaining details to the lamb. This includes the cute bow 🙂 .
