Planing soft toy for a baby, I'd appreciate some feedback

3 years ago by weirdsquid to c/sewing

That's my drawing for a sea-horse soft toy for a -not-so-newborn baby of a friend. I'd love to hear your opinions.

I'm thinking of using two or three different fabrics and satin tags for the fins, perhaps some yarn as "hair".

I know seahorses have spikes and baby would love them, but I doubt I can realistically tackle that level of sewing detail.

What do you think about the overall shape and size? Or anything else I haven't thought of?

Edit: Working on the picture issue, please hold... :) Edit 2: Picture uploaded, typo corrected.

Cute! The curly tail seems like a great thing for a baby told hold/grab. Not sure how old the baby is, but my 3 month old is mesmerized by crinkle sounds. They sell the thin crinkle plastic for baby and dog toys that you could add as a layer inside.
