It’s a fun and straightforward process that’s perfect for sewists of all skill levels, adding another stylish me-made piece to your wardrobe while also giving new life to pre-loved clothing. Full tutorial including a video can be seen here.

These little cuddlebugs have stolen my heart! MATERNAL INSTINCT ALERT— I want to hold them in the palms of my hands & protect them! Ms Bocek’s flawless execution & attention to minute detail sets these sweeties far apart from others who have tried. When I made pom poms as a child, I only made kittens! Takes me back with a smile! Got to make them all! Thanks and well done!!
