To make your own Squishmallow, start by gathering all the necessary materials. You’ll need a yard of soft fabric, polyester stuffing, basic sewing supplies, and optional felt for details.
Next, cut two oval-shaped pieces of fabric. Make sure the long sides are about 8 inches, and the short sides are about 6 inches. These pieces will form the front and back of your Squishmallow.
Place the two fabric pieces together with the wrong sides facing out. Sew around the edges, leaving a small opening for turning and stuffing. Ensure the opening is large enough for easy stuffing.
Turn the fabric right side out and stuff it with polyester stuffing until it is plump. Be careful not to overstuff, which might make it tricky to sew closed.
Once stuffed, sew the opening closed using hand stitching or a sewing machine. A ladder stitch can be helpful for a neat finish. Finally, add facial details, clothes, or any other decorations you like. Your homemade Squishmallow is now ready for cuddles!
