Hello to all my needlework friends! Tonight I want to show you what I've been sewing this afternoon while the power was out. To pass the time while waiting for it to come back on, I hand-sewed a mini Hello Kitty. I used fabric scraps because it's not very big, being a mini version, so it doesn't require much material. Plus, it's easy to make. I hope you'll join me in this project and see how it turned out!

😺Paso a paso/😺Step by step
Paso 1
Step 1
I started by marking the shape of Hello Kitty's head and body on the back of the fabric, then I cut out each part. I made the pattern by following a drawing.
Paso nro 2
Step 2
Now proceed to sew first the eyes and nose of Hello Kitty, for this use beads and needle and thread, then proceed to sew the two parts of the head together with the buttonhole stitch.
Paso 3
Step 3
Continue sewing the body part, using the same stitching.
Paso 4
Step 4
Now it was time to add stuffing so that the mini Hello Kitty would have shape. I used the same fabric as stuffing; what I did was cut the fabric into small pieces, and that's how I added stuffing to each piece.

Then I proceeded to sew both parts together, using a pin to ensure that nothing moved.
Paso 6
Step 6
The time came to add the details, so from the fuchsia fabric I made the little bow that Hello Kitty has on one side of her head, I sewed it and secured it very well by hand.
Paso 7
Step 7
Then I continued making a tutu-like outfit. From the same fuchsia fabric, I cut a strip and, using water and thread, I sewed the strip together, making sure it was gathered. Then I sewed it and secured it well onto the Hello Kitty.
Resultado/Result
And as a final touch, I made a little bow just like the one on her head, to wear around her neck as an ornament. And so, friends, this cute mini Hello Kitty is finished! Because of its size, it can be used to decorate and make keychains, or if you're like me, just to make it as a decoration. I really liked this mini Hello Kitty, especially since I'm a fan of this character. Thank you all for joining me today. Until next time, I'll bring you something new.
