cut 6 perfect squares out of fabric(s) of ur choice, mine are 3x3 inches but urs can be bigger or smaller. make them all different colors if u want! go hogwild w this
take 2 of those bad boys and sew one edge of them together
sew a 3rd square on! repeat w the next 2 squares, we r making a cube
5 squares sewn n now u got a funky cup! time for the 6th square
when u sew on the last square, be sure to leave part of one edge unsewn, this is so u can flip it inside out and stuff it!
now it’s stuffin time
stuff with some stuffing or u can use fabric scraps, whatever u have on hand. now we have a plump cube
time to sew up the little hole with a ladder stitch! im using a different colored thread here so its hopefully easier to see, but when u do it id recommend using a color that matches better so ur stitches are more hidden. first put the needle thru the inside so that the knot is hidden
then pass the needle through like this, pulling as u go. try not to pull too tight or else itll end up weird and wrinkly! i still have some troubles making this stitch look nice, so dont worry too much about getting it Perfect! its perfectly ok if ur stitches show
once uve stitched up the little hole, tie a knot in ur thread and snip it off! now we really have a cube
set that baby aside bc now we r gonna make something else
cut out 8 lil pieces like this, sew the pairs together, and turn inside out. now u got feet!
repeat the process w ears and a tail in shapes or ur choice. mine’s gonna be a kitty :3
sew on all the paws, ears, tail, etc using the same ladder stitch from earlier! i also added some spots to mine to give it a bit more character. u can add anything to urs!! the world is ur oyster
i used some embroidery floss to make a funny little face. if u dont have any, u can also stitch on some teeny pieces of fabric for a face instead
finally, give urself a pat on the back for making a little tiny friend!!! u did it!!!
if u make one, post it n tag it w #yarrowlook bc id love to see it! :’)
On this day, 27 October 1962, at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, second-in-command Vasili Arkhipov of the Soviet submarine B-59 refused to agree with his Captain’s order to launch nuclear torpedos against US warships and setting off what might well have been a terminal superpower nuclear war. The US had been dropping depth charges near the submarine in an attempt to force it to surface, unaware it was carrying nuclear arms. The Soviet officers, who had lost radio contact with Moscow, concluded that World War III had begun, and two of the officers agreed to ‘blast the warships out of the water’. Arkhipov refused to agree - unanimous consent of three officers was required - and thanks to him, we are here to post about it on the internet! https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1247224582129356/?type=3
Literally one of reasons why Hong Kong became so well known is because of the actions of the NBA or Activision-Blizzard showing that their economic interests lie directly against the protests
