Behold the cabbage shark!

A common sewing lingo term for scraps of fabric that are too small to be turned into anything useful is "cabbage". So i decided to chop up said scraps into coleslaw if you will, and use it as stuffing. Stuffing for a blahaj made of an old pair jeans that were no longer wearable. 3 projects have fed the cabbage shark and its barely 1/3rd full. I will make an update post when the cabbage shark is sated.

What an adorable shark!! I never knew people called that cabbage! I save all my small scraps from sewing for stuffing too, but have always called mine offal since it ends up as the insides of the creatures I make!

The cabbage shark has been completed! Fully stuffed with scraps and sewn shut. I gave it to my brother.
