Ashley from Make It and Love It, recently posted a free (for personal use) pattern and tutorial for these adorable Turtle Softies. I couldn't help but make up a couple for my boys.
Baby Numero Dos, will have a softie to match his car seat canopy. I used the aqua minky for the underside of the turtle, and the pieces of the shell.
Clark told me that he wanted to have a green turtle, after going through my fabric scrap pile, we ended up with a green and brown turtle. The underside of the turtle is brown fleece, the legs and head are brown flannel, and the shell is made up of quilter's cotton. This little softie is a great project to use up smaller sized fabric scraps. I don't know why I find so much satisfaction in using up fabric scraps, but I do. So not only can you use up scraps with this project, but it comes together very quickly, and is perfect for a boy or girl.

They turned out adorable!!
the aqua one is my favorite
love how the minky texture add depth to the turtle's shell
So cute! The aqua one is my fave too -- and how snuggly to have minky! My son is really starting to like turtles so I'll have to add this to my ever-growing to-do list...
