My son is 23 months and is in love with a couple of vegetable movie stars. I have known that I wanted to make him some plush toys for a few months now and have been thinking and researching how to do it. I finally came across this fabric beach ball tutorial from The Purl Bee and it was perfect!
I used the Med size for the Tomato.
I "free handed" both their faces and the leaf top. I machine sewed their eyes and mouths but hand sewed the black part of the eye and the leaf top.
I used the Large size for the Cucumber plus added 3 inches into the middle. If I was going to do it over again I would add a total of 5 inches to the middle because his face should take up half of his body. With just the 3 inches, he seems a little short to me.
I'm sure my son will LOVE them!! Check out The Purl Bee for some great tutorials for all things crafty.

Did Eli ever tell you about Puff, the orange (upcycled, though we didn't use that word then) dragon I made him for his third birthday?
Do you have Christmas gift suggestions for me? I need some!!
