By taking a few safety precautions, you can even sew a stuffed toy for a dog or a catnip toy for a cat. Small items such as buttons and beads should be avoided as they could pose a choking hazard. You may want to use heavy duty thread and durable fabric that is easily cleaned. [caption id="attachment_2253" align="aligncenter" width="280"]
