Created an #Octoplushy with a pattern from #Freesewing.org. Altered it slightly to be more suitable for a newborn baby.



I'm making a second one soon, of which I will make the tentacles shorter and thicker. Stuffing these was not easy. Turning them right-side-out was also not easy. Altering the pattern will be easy, though. Freesewing has great pattern adjustment features.



I do like the size, though. That head has a diameter of 20 cm. Good stuff. It's made from the fabric of our old couch which was long due for replacement. The couch cushions were great for providing filling. And I used some different fabrics for the bottoms of the tentacles, to give the baby some sensory variety.



Thanks to @woutervw@freesewing.social for creating the pattern.
