each foot has a little sand-filled bag inside for weight.
filled bags, waiting to be sewn closed.
six little legs!

The bags of sand is such a good idea! I love seeing how other people put together soft toys as I am entirely self-taught (read: winging it).
thank you! have you ever tried glass beads? i’m curious about that solution too.
No! I’ve done rice and beans, but I would love something less prone to the dangers of moisture.
and the dangers of mice! when i try glass beads (one day!) i’ll let you know how it goes.
