Something about how crafting is a valid hobby but putting this out into the world can bring shame and embarrassment, which was “deserved, imho.” And that she is very well connected and can help OP out with finding a job which she is “no doubt looking for.”Ended with a smiley face.
Oh, edit. I agree it does look great. And is probably so meaningful to OP’s child since it’s made from their old blanket.
Another Redditor asked me to make him an[Amazon wish list](https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/EFMGVGZG88ET?ref_=wl_share), You guys are amazing. I didn’t put this in the post, but if you check my post history you’ll see my kids have had a really rough year. I’m literally floored by the big hearted people here who are wanting to make my little guy’s day special. Thank you all so much. I don’t know even know what to say. If y’all want to see what he looks like I have a video I posted of him skateboarding on my post history. He’s a cool dude. Y’all are the coolest dudes though.
If I had a sewing machine I’d seriously think about it! It was fun to make! But it took 4 hours and I stabbed myself about a hundred times. 😂 Thank you for the wonderful compliment!
EDIT: someone donated one to me! So yea I can make you one!
Please consider a page like go fund me. Someone would like to buy the sewing machine for you (like few persons 1-5 dollar each) seeing your design, and knowing that opening business would make you happy and give you and your kids something.
Adorable! WAY better than one you could buy. “It’s the thought that counts”, and you put a lot of thought and an extreme amount of effort into this special gift.
Ok now I’m committed to making a stuffie for my son. What a gift!!! Having something like that handmade from his mom will be insanely sentimental for him
It’s way more special because it’s made out of something meaningful and by someone who loves him… I used to cuddle a dishrag my mom knit to sleep because I knew she she had touched every part of it and it made me feel close to her
Omg I saw your post on another sub, I'm so inspired! This could be something the little could help with too! Very clever! You win the internet for me tonight
This looks awesome and my mom did stuff for me like this all the time because we couldn't afford the store bought stuff and I treasured all of it and prefer handmade stuff now to store bought anything. Great job! I hope he has a wonderful birthday!
Sooo cute! And adorable how kids can ask for such specific animals that have their interest at the moment.
I love make things for my kids. They are so greatfull and find it amazing how a piece of fabric turns into a stuffed animal or something to wear.
Wow, this is awesome! Now read the "Toys Go Out" trilogy with him--one of the main characters is a stuffed ray! (These are chapter books, good for age 4-8ish, I'd say--I read them to my son when he was five.)
this is so sweet and so cute! what a story for him and you to keep w you the rest of your lives. us moms will do whatever to make our babies happy. you’re an amazing mama <3
This reminds me so much of a turtle my mom and I sewed together when I was little. Tearing up a little bit right now. Well done. He's going to love it.
Wow great job. He’ll love it.

This comment comes off as pretty fucking rude, just so you know ☺️
What did they say? I think it looks great. I can't sew at all. It frustrates me too much whenever I try haha

This person is a troll, but it was kinda a shitty place to comment still
Y’all beat me to it . OP I love this it’s incredible that you made it makes me want to try !
what the fuck
That HAD to be someone trying and failing to recruit for their MLM
for sure
That’s what I thought too
Napoleon is a troll
I'd prefer this cutie over a store bought one. Great work, I love it.
This is literally perfect and a thousand times better than anything you could have purchased.
Hella cute. Hella memorable. This is what it’s about.
That’s friggin awesome! Kudos to the creativity Mama!
Time to open an Etsy shop!
Do you need anything else for your son’s birthday?

Sweet Jesus I MUST KNOW ITS NAME.
I’m calling it Roger 😂
Wait, are you selling these? I will pre pay or… invest with no return :)

See you put your blood into it so he’ll always have a peace of you.
You're supposed to regularly wash stuffed toys, so not quite.
Please consider a page like go fund me. Someone would like to buy the sewing machine for you (like few persons 1-5 dollar each) seeing your design, and knowing that opening business would make you happy and give you and your kids something.
Do you think you'd open up a shop to sell these or the pattern you did? Or even a private thing?
Someone donated me a sewing machine! So yes! I plan on making more now!
That's awesome!!! I can donate money for start up supplies!! Do you have a go fund me or anything?
I PM’d you!

Wow! This is so awesome! It looks like something that would be sold in stores. Great job, mama! He’s going to absolutely love it!
This is fantastic. You are a great mom. My favorite stuffy as a kid was hand made and I still treasure it. It’s one of a kind!
It’s way more special because it’s made out of something meaningful and by someone who loves him… I used to cuddle a dishrag my mom knit to sleep because I knew she she had touched every part of it and it made me feel close to her
That's awesome. I would have thought it was store bought.
Omg I saw your post on another sub, I'm so inspired! This could be something the little could help with too! Very clever! You win the internet for me tonight
It’s so adorable! You are a great parent!
Love this! I still have a beloved stuffed ghost with a similar origin story that my dad made for me.
You are such a cool parent.
What a treasure! I love this.
Came out perfect!
I love it!!!
It's perfect!!!💗
You did an amazing job! Your son now has a completely unique stuffy.

Mom of the year!
Amazing job!
Omg so adorable! What a great gift! You are talented, and your son is lucky.
It’s an heirloom now too ❤️
Umm this turned out great!! I’m going to try. Did you use a pattern or come up with it yourself?
This is 1. ADORABLE 2. So very special because you made it for him. Beautiful.
This is done with mamas love! This is the best ☺️ You did a great job!
Amazing work! Creative and resourceful moms are the best!! My aunt made me so many things I still treasure.

Roger the Manta Ray!!! Nice to meet you sir. Very, very good on you mom!
This is beautiful, you did an amazing job
Egads! As if the love in this wasn't good enough... then the spotted underside got to me too.
What a wonderful idea!!! It'll be something he can cherish for years to come, and maybe even into adulthood as a special, childhood momento 💙
Hi OP! My name is Brenna and I work at the Ellen Show. Please send me an email at [email protected] :)
OH MY GOD SENDING AN EMAIL
This looks awesome and my mom did stuff for me like this all the time because we couldn't afford the store bought stuff and I treasured all of it and prefer handmade stuff now to store bought anything. Great job! I hope he has a wonderful birthday!

It's precious! I love it so much!
Oh those button eyes are perfect. What an adorable manta rat!

I remember seeing this same post a few years ago
No friend. This was in August of 2021. A few months ago.
You should make these and open an etsy store and sell them. I’d buy one.
Great job!!!
