Cute craft ideas that involve needle and thread. All these videos are particularly suitable for beginners because sewing is my weakest area as well. Plushies make great gifts for children and also sell well at craft fairs. Make sure you sew eyes and other things on firmly so they aren't easily tugged off or pose a choking hazard. Some general tips:

1) Don't use any length of thread longer than your own arm (it should ideally be shorter). This increases the chance of tangling, which is the biggest hassle when sewing.

2) Keep stitches as small as possible, around 2mm - 5mm. The longer the stitch, the more likely it will form gaps or get pulled apart. (When I was small, my mum always told me that only lazy housewives use big stitches, lol).

3) Stuffing a plushie is skill in itself. You need to stuff each area in one go, adding more wool will result in a lumpy shape. If necessary, pull out all the wool, reshape and restuff. less
