Friends Are Easy To Make

Step 6 RAWR.

When you're finished, make sure to put him in a safe place away from UV exposure and puppies (unless you intend for it to be a chew toy)

And finally, completion of your new friend according to my instructions will not result in its coming to life. It will indefinitely remain dumb and inanimate no matter how hard you will it to move.

Happy sewing!

this has inspired me to take a wack at a gerr doll yakno from invader zim =3

[lovelikeangels]

one question though. how do you sew the gap once you've stuffed it to look uniform with the rest of the sewing?

[88mph]

Use a ladder stitch, its really easy and looks great. Just google 'ladder stitch', its used a lot by bear makers etc.

[Mauigerbil]

yes we do

[princessrad111]

i second this question

[Noah972]

Perhaps you could close it with the slip-stitch. It looks almost completely seamless.

[bobobob1230]

to the best of my knowledge, you just have to trust your hand sewing prowess (lol, right?) and try to make it look right. maybe there is a better way, idk

I'm gonna make a Dib doll for my girlfriend who LOVES Dib from Invader Zim.. I have until June to finish it.. yay restricting deadlines..

[Noah972]

How many inches tall is that little fellow?

[kawisahos31]

it's so cute! but wouldn't it be easier to put the face on before you sew the pieces together??

[Noah972]

I was a little worried about how to sew on the eyes and whatnot, but doing it that way really solves the problem. Thanks for the suggestion.

[Noah972]

I just realized that you would have to do things a little differently. You might have to cut the front and back (a little bigger than what you drew on your fabric, so you can sew it later) before you sew them together, then sew on the face on the right side of the fabric, then put wrong sides back together and sew around (hence the reason you would need to cut it bigger). Hmm... that could work...but is there an easier way that you thought of doing it?

jajjajaja lovely!

[pieguy780]

i need to make one of these for my baby brother... and maybe one for me.

[lawdog323]

too cute! I wonder how you could make a "person" stuffed doll from your past. Like a childhood friend. And sorta like write a short story about the childhood friends personal character's. Watching your instructable just inspired me! lol GREAT JOB!!

[theHERO]

This is the first instructable that I've made, and you made it SO easy!
I love my new stuffed animal, A+ job(=

[Gwycon2]

I can probably do that! Good instructions. I made a softie for my nephew and the poodle disembowled him; it was so sad. So, yeah, keep the monster up high so pups don't kill them.

[jacknero]

Beautiful!!!
