Stuffed orcas

September 10, 2009 /

Made these for my son. He really loves Willy (from Free Willy movie) and had been pestering me to buy a stuffed orca for him. It’s a common thing that almost all toy stores in Malaysia have dolphins but orcas? We did found a pack of sea-creatures where there’s a tiny orca in it. Yassin wanted a bigger one, so we continued searching but to no avail. I got fed-up after a week or searching, so decided to make one for my son. Here’s my first attempt:

first orca

I actually made the tail and fins a bit 2D, a straight cut-out from side view angle. When my son complained about it, my husband amended it to look like a real 3D orca. Thanks dear! You can sew!

After a week, my son wanted another orca, a bigger one with ammendments to the flippers, dorsal fin, bottom part of the body (from black to white) and the eye patches (to make it a bit fierce). So I made this:

2nd orca

Yassin is a happy lad who carries his orcas all around town.
