Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I found a great tutorial at purlbee.com to make these great fabric beach balls. I made this one for my son’s first birthday which is later this month, though I already gave it too him :). We’ve had great fun with it. There are three sizes available on the tute. This is the large one and I’m planning on making him the medium size as well. Maybe I’ll wait to give him that one on his actual birthday. Wonderful gift idea and quite easy to make.
Material Notes
Cotton (leftovers from my duvet cover and scraps from my grandmother), felt, embroidery thread

very cool and i think it would be much safer for babies than plastic beach balls my daughter some how bit a whole in ours with her new teeth :(
