Make your own Corgi puppy softie! A simple sewing project for kids using scrap felt and a needle and thread! Such a sweet and simple way to make your own stuffed animal!
Cut out dog softie templates. Pin each template to the felt and cut out the necessary pieces.
Place the top face section onto one of the squares of felt. Pin into place.
Thread a needle with a long piece of thread. If using embroidery floss, seperate the strand of floss into two sections (each section will have 3 strings of floss). Use one section for sewing.Tie a knot on the end. Stitch around the bottom (as shown). Tie a knot on the back when you are finished and cut the thread.
Stitch nose/mouth section to the front of the square.
Pin the feet to the front of the square and stitch around the sides and top. Do not stitch the bottom of the feet.
Place the inner ear pieces on top of outer ear pieces.
Stitch the inner ear pieces to outer ear pieces. Do not stitch across the bottom of the ears.
Glue the eyes, nose and tongue onto the front of the softie using hot glue or fabric glue.
Set the front of the softie to the side. Place the second square onto your work surface. Place the tail on the right side. Place the ears on the top.
Place the front piece over, sandwiching the ears and tail pieces in between. Add a few pins to keep everything together.
Stitch around 3 sides, leaving one side open. Stuff dog with a small handfull of stuffing.
Stitch the opening closed.

Notes
You can sew your entire project or glue your entire project. We used a combination of sewing and gluing. Hot glue works best when gluing felt, but fabric glue is safer for kids (prevents burns). If using fabric glue, allow some time for the pieces to dry.
