Even since I first saw quokkas on Buzzfeed ('the happiest animals on Earth') I've wanted to make a tutorial on them! So after a bit of experimenting, I've adapted the sock plush technique for this cute quokka plushie. Amazingly, I managed to make this entire piece out of a single sock! Literally used up every last piece of fabric. But of course, you can always jump to the second sock if you want a bit more space to draw and cut.

*I bought my socks from H&M. They're often sold out online but if you go into any real H&M shop, they should almost definitely have these socks in the women's section near the checkout tills.

The stuffing technique is a bit trickier here and I tried to make it clearer with the diagrams. The fruits are there to show you RELATIVE sizes of the stuffing so don't worry if they're not precisely a certain size. The important part is that the "kiwi" stuffing needs to be smaller than the "lemon" stuffing but bigger than the "strawberry" stuffing. Hope this makes sense :)!
