I watched a video on the internet yesterday of a whale washcloth that was
done.  They made a pattern and cut two whales out of the baby washcloth
keeping a 1/4 inch extra margin.  Below is the description of what the video
said and the link to the video.

A whale washcloth scrubber is a fun and easy project to make for your child.
It also makes a great gift for a baby shower or birthday party.

Susan,

More information, please. Wash cloths animals, cut and stuffed and
sewed...please share her idea of how. I have made a Boo boo bunny and have
seen birthday cake, do not know how to make it, but babies coming and need
all new ideas, this sounds wonderful, if you can share the idea.
