I took penguin as my inspiration to make my figure.
I made a figure with short arms and legs, similar to those of a penguin. I wanted to also give the figure a hat. I had to do the figure and the hate separately because I wished them to be done using two different colored felts.
I pinned down the paper onto a gray felt and traced it with extra space.
I cut two pieces for front and back.
I chose gray thread to match the color of the felt.
I stitched the two pieces of felt together but left a part in order to create a hole to insert cotton. I flipped the stitched felts inside out through the unstitched part.
Made a triangular hat out of red felt.
Decided to make a blue swirl on one side and an eye on the other to add characteristics to the figure.
