Oopsie the Octopus stuffie - aarh matey!

This is my new nephew, Levi. Isn't he sweet? And that creature with him is oopsie the octopus, one of the free projects by Moda Bake Shop.  I made him into a pirate octopus by adding an eye patch and bandana. I thought the legs would be perfect for little hands to grab onto.

He's my first patchwork project and my first stuffie. I think I'm hooked on both. I have a lot of scraps....
