"Pretty easy for a newbie like me! Mine turned out a little tubbier, and I chose to leave out the mouth because I liked it better that way. My biggest complaint would be that the instructions didn't really clarify how I was meant to sew the ends together. I also personally forgot the leave a stuffing hole so that was on me."

"These are super simple and oh, sew, cute! I made them reversible so they can be turned over after Christmas and used throughout the winter."

"If your kids are tall and skinny and the waist on their pants is always too big, this trick is for you! There is no need for them to struggle to hold their pants up or tuck extra shirts into their pants. This quick-fix takes about 2 minutes with a sewing machine and 10 minutes by hand. All you need is some thread. And the best part is, if your kids don't ruin the pants before their waist grows, you can just pull out the stitching."
