i kept procrastinating all day and didn't start working on it until 11 pm, so i missed the deadline by an hour. i originally started to draw a skunk earlier in the day, but last minute, i decided that i'd rather make a stuffed animal. i did a very quick rough sketch and looked at a seal softie that a friend made for me for guidance, but other than that, i worked very haphazardly making 3 identically shaped pieces for the body sides/bottom, and a top stripe, and circles for the snout/back of the body. i sewed everything together then realized that i didn't leave space for the legs and tail, so i had to take everything apart to add them. also, on my first attempt, i sewed a white circle for the back of the body before i realized that it should be dark, but i had sewn my stitches too tightly to take out, so i just re-cut new pieces and started again. he isn't done yet, as you might notice, from the big gaping hole along his stripe, and also, the fact that his eyes and nose haven't been sewn on. but i like him as a start and will finish him, i'll post finished results eventually.
