Leaf Sheep Slug Plush

The Leaf Sheep Slug is my favorite animal. It that can photosynthesize and look cute while doing it.

• Blue or Purple fabric 1.5 m long, 3 cm wide + a bit for the antennas
• Green fabric 1.5 m long, 10 cm wide
• White fabric 20 cm long 15 cm wide + 2 circles 7 cm diameter
• Black felt or beads for the eyes
• Thread

Pin the fabric with the fluffy sides touching and sew along the outer edge to get one piece with blue on top and green on the bottom

Make sure the height of the blue on one side matches the height of the blue on the other side all along the fabric

You'll need 5 small spikes and ~18 large ones

Use a pen to mark the fabric. Make sure you test the pen to make sure it doesn't shine through

My picture shows 7 small spikes, but this was too many

It's ok if it's not perfect, you'll be turning them inside out anyway.

You can skip this step if you're using felt

You make the antennas approximately the same way you made the spikes; by sketching out the shape on the fabric, folding the fabric in half, sewing along the lines, cutting them out, and turning them inside out.

Find the middle of your fabric first

You should have either 5 or 6 spikes per layer.

This picture is from after I've done a couple of layers

Take the piece you have already made and pin the spikes to the edge of the white fabric, put another layer of white fabric on top and sew

This is going to be the back

This will be the front

At this point you should have one piece of fabric with a line of small spikes, white fabric, normal spikes, white fabric, normal spikes, white fabric, normal spikes.

I put them between the 1st and 2nd spikes and between the 4th and 5th spikes

~7 cm diameter

If you're using a less fluffy fabric you might want to add a dart to make it a more natural shape.

You'll need to hand sew this

In the end you should have a sort of tube

You can either make eyes out of black felt or use beads

Sew it inside out

It should be open in the back

You won't be able to sew it up all the way, that's ok

Here's some extra pictures of the finished slug

This is my first self drafted pattern. I'd appreciate any feedback :)
