Lately I’ve seen a lot of ideas on the internet that inspire me too much and although in some things I don’t have enough talent I never lose that instinct to try haha, today I wanted to make a small ghost plush, at first I wanted to make a kind of ghost lamp but I didn’t have the materials and really a ghost plush seemed quite simple, I mean, we’re talking about a white silhouette with black eyes and mouth, how difficult can it be… Right? Hahaha, well for someone who doesn’t know how to sew too well like me, it is quite a challenge and I thought it was really funny how it turned out, it looks chubby and a little deformed but the most important thing of all is that I was about to throw it away and my son saw it and literally fell in love with the ghost plush, practically taking it out of my hands, so at least he liked it.

To make this little ghost I first made the sketch of the template on a white sheet of paper which I then cut out and traced onto a fabric that I reused from a shirt of my son's that I was about to throw away because it was too old. I tried to trace the silhouette with a pencil on the fabric but the pencil didn't mark anything and I had to resort to a black marker. After making the two silhouettes I cut them out.
I started sewing the edges without taking into account that I had to cut the silhouettes with a distance of at least two cm all around so that my stuffed animal would not be too deformed and obviously I realized it too late and I no longer had more fabric to start over, so I continued in this way, I continued sewing with my few skills and to top it off I ran out of white thread and I had to continue half of the ghost with a cyan thread hahaha. You have to sew all around but leave a space unsewn to be able to turn our stuffed animal inside out and also to be able to fill it through this same hole.
I stuffed everything inside and then closed the hole by sewing it again. For the eyes, I tried to find some unused black fabric, but I didn't have any. So I took some white fabric and painted it with black cold-applied paint. I cut out the eyes and mouth and glued them on with hot glue.
Honestly, I didn't like how it turned out, but the only thing that makes me happy and that all this suffering was worth it is knowing that my son liked it, hahaha. He's a big fan of stuffed animals and Halloween themes, so at least I was able to make him happy with my first stuffed animal.
The finish work look so beautiful. I love it. Thanks for sharing
Pero como no se iba a enamorar tu hijo de este fantasmita si esta super adorable 😍 yo no me llevo para nada bien con la costura, una vez quise arreglar una de mis remeras favoritas y ya mejor no lo hubiese hecho jajajaja para mi quedo muy lindo, el talento esta solo cuando hay amor por lo que uno hace ❤️
Qué cosa tendrán los fantasmitas que a todos nos gustan? Te quedó genial, y realmente anima mucho hacer el nuestro porque es muy fácil y se ve súper tierno. Además, que le podemos dar nuestro toque especial o personalizar. Te felicito @alexa.art
