Stuffed animals

I bought the Martha Stewart Encyclopedia of Sewing and Fabric Crafts.  Inside they had patterns for these cute little stuffed animals.  I made the lamb and pig for my little girls.  The lamb is made from a sweater and from a baby shirt the girls wore when infants.  The pig is made with purple and turquoise fabric from their Grandma and Grandpa's clothes.  Their grandpa Mike pasted away this past summer and I thought having something that he wore would be special.  Use whatever material is special to you and give it a try.  There are many free patterns out there to try also.
