This is a great way to use up scraps of fabric. Also try creating balls of different sizes for your child.

|
|
1. Create your template and trace around it on 6 pieces of fabric scraps. Be sure to lay the fabric on the grain.
|
|
|
2. These are the cut out pieces.
|
|
|
3. Pin the first 2 pieces together and then pin a third side right away to this piece.
|
|
|
4. Sew the first side with a 7mm or 1/4” margin, then sew the second side.
|
|
|
5. 1/2 of your ball is now completed. Repeat steps 1-4 again for the 2nd half using the same color order.
|
|
|
6. Once both halves are finished, pin one side of one half to one side of the other half. Make sure that the color order is correct. Sew these halves together.
|
|
|
7. Now pin the last side to the other side. Sew both sides together but leave an opening in the center for turning.
|
|
|
8. Turn your ball and stuff as desired.
|
|
|
9. Hand sew the opening closed.
