D.I.Y. Secret Pocket in a Stuffed Animal (Stuffie)

     Good Day Happy Kittens!

    Today I will be showing you how to put a secret pocket inside a stuffed animal. I've seen these for sale and they call them Stuffies. ( https://www.stuffies.com/)
     It's a super fun a cute idea! Enjoy the tutorial!


                                            Here's what you need:
                                           
                               1. Fabric
                               2. Sewing Machine (You will need a zipper foot)
                               3. Needle and Thread ( And things that go with it: Scissors, pins, ect. ect. )
                               4. Stuffed Animal
                               5. Matching Zipper



                       Step 1: Get all the needed items together



Step 2: Cut out two pieces of fabric, both of the same size


Step 3: Lay the two pieces of fabric together, so that the not so colorful sides are on the outside 
(inside-out)


Step 4: Sew together three sides
Don't turn right-side-out!


Step 5: Hem the top


Step 6: Sew on the zipper ( This is where the zipper foot comes in handy)


Step 7: Cut a straight line the length of the pocket  
Note: Cut a little smaller and if you need more room you can always cut more.


Step 8: Take out some stuffing



Step 9: Place the pocket in the hole and hand stitch together. Blind stitch works the best!


Now you're done! 
Remember your stuffed friend is going to need a little extra TLC!  


The zipper is nearly invisible!




You can put any thing you like in it! It's super fun and easy!






I hope you enjoyed making this and I will see you very soon!
