So, I drew an easily shaped animal on a piece of paper and had my daughter pick different fabrics for head, body and feet. We cut 2 pieces of fabric from each body part (it is easiest to fold the fabric in half and cut only once - that way you make sure to mirror your pieces for the backside) and we were ready to sew!
My daughter did most of the sewing with a little help turning the corners. After attaching the body parts together, we sewed front and back right sides together leaving an opening at the nose. After turning the hedgehog right side out, we put a LOT of filling inside (such a little hedgehog can eat more than I thought!!). Last step was closing the opening near the nose with a few stitches from the outside.
Done!
The next animal pillow was already requested: "something without too many spikes and legs" (??)
