DIY Totoro Felty

And pattern! I've uploaded it to Google Docs here, if you'd like!

Just cut out the pattern...
And sew all the "face" pieces onto one of the grey body pieces using straight stitch or back stitch.  Then add the back grey body piece and blanket stitch it all together!
Hello, my neighbor!
By the way, has anyone gone to see the new Ghibli movie, "Secret World of Arrietty" yet?  It's based off The Borrowers! I was waiting for my sis to come up so we could go see it, but I don't know if I can hold out. :)

Now I just need to figure out what to stick this forest spirit on.  He could be another headband, or a finger puppet, or an applique on something else altogether!
