DIY Adorable reversible plush toy (owl & penguin)

If this is your first time sewing sock plush , then you can simply create a non- reversible owl or penguin. That's super easy to make and you can watch Maqaroon's other videos on how to seal the base. If you have a bit more experience with plushies then feel free to get creative. You can even add small ears to create different animals! The plushie will drop some bits of fluff at the beginning because there are lots of "raw" fabric edges.
