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.

    That looks like it’ll be really cute!! You’re very creative! The only thing I would say is that if it’s for a baby, maybe don’t use wool or yarn for the ‘hair’… It might be better to make it ‘solid’ out of satin like the fins? (Does that make sense? Like something in one mass rather than stringy…)?

      Thank you! I just hope I can deliver - preferably before the baby goes to college.

      What you say about the “hair” totally makes sense. I’ll have to give it some more thought.
