I ♥ DIM SUM!
I made these delicious Dim Sum plushies for my niece's 1st birthday. I don't have a sewing pattern for them. Just grab a pile of felt from your local craft store and start clipping 'n stitching!
♥ assorted felt colors ~20¢/sheet
♥ bag of polyfill
♥ colored thread
This is a very budget friendly DIY project. The real fun is learning ways to stitch different shapes. Knowing how to fold actual dumplings might help with sewing them. My mom is the only person who correctly named all of them. No surprise there. For years I've been her little kitchen helper. Now I must add har gow to the menu, it's my favorite dim sum item! Chicken feet would be hilarious too, if only I can figure something out...

sewing makes me hungry.
