I bought this little contraption from Nippori (Tokyo's fabric town) last year and have only made one small, shall we call it fabric blob?! It's really quick and easy and you can buy more of the yellow clips so you can prep loads of the blobs and fill them all in one go. I haven't decided what I'm going to make once I have a few blobs on the go but it's always nice to give something different a try! All of the instructions are in Japanese but the illustrations are pretty easy to follow. You cut a square piece of fabric using the stencils as your guide and then clip each edge of the square with the yellow clips. You sew all around the edge leaving a gap where you can pop the long tube in and stuff your stuffing down it!. Hey presto, the birth of the fabric blob! You can also make some pretty nifty folds and pinches in the fabric too to give a different effect. AH! I have just, by the amazing power of google discovered that this is called puff quilting! You can buy these sets with english instructions from clovers website here!
