A fun afternoon project!

I bought this pattern to make for my husband for Christmas. The instructions are incredibly detailed, with pictures for literally every step! If you’re a more experienced sewist you may not need quite that level of detail but it would be very helpful for beginners. I put together the bigger sized one in an afternoon/evening. Great pattern overall and makes for a lovely stuffed animal or ornament with the smaller size!
