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.
The design is lovely, and far better than I can draw! I can only give feedback from a sewing perspective, but the skinnier parts (nose and tail) would be really hard to turn out the right way, if you intend to sew that way. A chunkier snout would be easier to sew and turn, though it may not be true to nature. For the tail, perhaps you could sew it as a circle (make sure to clip the curves before you turn it out for a smooth finish) and then have the spiral painted or embroidered on it. I hope any of this was helpful.
