Crafting Tips π
Use Pins Generously: With fleece, pins help keep your fabric from slipping. Plus, theyβre like little fishies helping you swim through this project!
Mind the Stretch: Fleece has a bit of stretch, so take it easy and go slow, especially on your first few arms.
Customize with Colors: Make your octopus even more unique by mixing and matching fleece colors for the body and tentacles.
