Step 1: Lay out black fabric and fold in two.
Make sure the right sides are touching each other. -
Step 2: With chalk (or other writing utensil visible on the particular kind of black fabric you have) trace out a human shape.
It doesn't need to be too perfect, and it looks cuter if it isn't.
Just make sure it looks sort of like a person, at the very least, with arms and legs.
The easiest shape is a rectangle with tiny stubby arms and legs. ,, Leave a small opening somewhere, to turn it right side out. (1 inch/2.5 cm is good) , With the back of a pencil or a similar object, push the stuffing in so that your ninja doesn't turn out floppy.
Sew the opening closed using blind stitch. , Skin tones (such as a light pink, white, yellowish, tan or brown shades) work best to make a more life-like ninja but you can use any colour for this. , Use white thread so that the stitches will be less noticeable.
You'll most likely want to match the face color of the ninja or use black thread. , The possibilities are endless: use beads, buttons or embroider filled circles or even crosses if you'd rather have a knocked-out/fainted ninja.
Use any colour you like or even different sized eyes for that home-made look. , -
