Gotta start somewhere

I've been wanting to try this project for while now and figured there was no better time than while visiting Mom so she could help me (as she is a master seamstress/quilter/crafter, etc.).

The idea is to make stuffed animals from vintage and cool thrift store clothes. The idea is to recycle and make them using as little money as possible.

My first attempt is a hippo. I purchased a nice pair of JCrew cords and a men's shirt from the thrift store at 0.99/ea. can't beat those prices.
