This is the final post for an Alien themed party. Today I'll show you how I made these aliens. 
I made them for party favors, and my boys seriously LOVE theirs. 
I couldn't leave out Miss B.
HERE is the downloadable template. Again, not exact, but it works! I also didn't take a picture of every step because it's pretty self-explanatory. :)
THIS too.
Grab some fleece, cut your pattern pieces out, trace them onto your fabric, and cut away!

Grab some fleece, cut your pattern pieces out, trace them onto your fabric, and cut away! My alien's mouth measures 5" x 1/4".
Since the alien template isn't perfectly symmetrical, I just flipped the pattern over on the second tracing so that the pieces matched up better when sewing together.
After cutting everything out, pin on the white part of the eye.
You can either do a straight stitch (my preference):
Or a zig-zag stitch:
Add the pupil the same way. I did a zig-zag stitch over the mouth strip.

Pin right sides together, and stitch around the entire alien pretty close to the edge, leaving a 3"-4" space for stuffing.
Turn right side out, and stuff it with fiberfill. You might have to use the end of your scissors to stuff the antenna. Whip-stitch the opening closed with matching thread.

Wow Nice party treat. It can be a good Gift Basket Ideas.
Thanks a lot.
These are great! My friend used your pattern for her little boy's party. Thought you might be interested in seeing photo's of the ones she made: http://sunshineformum.blogspot.com/2011/09/space-party.html. Oh, and your blog is gorgeous!
My son wanted a space party for his 5th birthday so I searched online and found your tutorials! We made the alien invitations and the alien softies. All the kids loved their softies! I got lots of compliments on the invitations as well. I also used the template for the softie to make an applique for a birthday t-shirt! It looked great. Thank you so much for providing these tutorials! You helped make my son's party special!
