Slothy goodness.

I have been slightly obsessed with sloths lately.  I have my good friend Catherine to thank for that.  She sent me a video of a baby sloth, and I was overcome by how incredibly weird and adorable these little creatures were.  It was Catherine's birthday last month, so I decided that I would make her a sloth of her very own!

I started off with a couple of sketches





And then made the body out of felt





And gave it a wire skeleton so that the legs would be posable.



I covered the toes in fun foam and then made the legs out of felt and attached them



I sewed everything together, stuffed him up a little and gave him a friendly little face.







I got my mom to hold up a paper towel roll branch for him to hang off of.  She was also enjoying a caramel apple sucker...
