Intro:
Lately I have been doing a lot of custom orders.
They range from turtles to cows to puppets to placenta! I love doing human anatomy even if the initial googling phase usually leaves me queasy.

Each node is sewn on individually and stuffed with a different amount of polyfil just to keep you guessing. It’s the grossest fidget toy I have ever seen.

This project works up fast but does involve some sewing. I recommend plotting your shape with stitch markers but honestly the beauty of natural parts is that they are allowed to be as unique as our individual bodies.

Great for Midwives, Dulas, Birthing Coaches and Lactation Specialists. Check out more of my patterns for Lactation aids and Latch mouth puppets!
