If your knit toy is starting to look a little flat, it may be time to restuff it. Luckily, this is a relatively easy process. You will need:
- stuffing (you can use polyester fiberfill, batting, or even old clothes)
- a sharp needle and thread
- scissors
1. First, you'll need to remove the old stuffing from your toy. Carefully cut open the seam that holds the stuffing in place. If your toy has multiple seams, you may need to open several of them in order to remove all of the stuffing. Be careful not to damage the fabric as you're cutting.
2. Once the old stuffing is out, stuff your toy with new filling until it's plump and firm. Again, be careful not to overstuff so that the fabric doesn't tear.
3. Finally, sew up the opening (or openings) with a needle and thread, making sure that the stitches are secure. Trim any excess thread and your toy is good as new!
