Huggable BB-8

16, 9:33 PM.jpg
I was both scared and excited when Star Wars episode 7 was coming out 2015. Scared because Disney bought Lucasfilms. I did NOT want a song (with lyrics) in the movie. My worst nightmare would be Darth Vader singing let it go or something crazy like that. I was excited to see the old cast again especially Harrison Ford (he's my hero). Seeing the movie, I fell in love with BB-8 and I had to make a huggable version of him.

Cut out four leaf shapes out of white fleece. Sew the leaves together and cut slits at the end (so when stuffed the sphere will come out with a better shape). Turn inside out and stuff.
