Now really, once something has been featured on whipup could I possibly bring a tutorial any more traffic than it’s already getting? No. Not a chance. But I couldn’t resist highlighting this cute little hedgehog softie at mollychicken.

    • Other: “This Felty Friend is similar to cloth dolls made in the 1800s, except that we’ve inserted a pipe cleaner skeleton to make the doll posable. We should warn you, though, that when one Felty is completed, it will inevitably require a friend, clothes, a sleeping bag, and a pet.”
