I recently made a patchwork owl that I use as a pincushion, and it turned out so cute. I loved it so much, that I went looking for another stuffed animal idea, and I found this seal pincushion video tutorial by Pay It Forward, on YouTube, and I loved it more than the owl I made. This lovely stuffed seal also comes with a free pattern download that is so easy to follow. This is a perfect scrap buster, I am going to make my seal from velvet scraps, that I found on junk clothing that I got at the thrift store. The seal will be so cute in velvet, it reminds me of the Velveteen Rabbit book.
