It is my nephew's 1st birthday coming up, so I decided to make him a toy.
I found inspiration here:

I spent Saturday making the smaller light blue prototype (you might recognise the material).
It was tricky though and was too small for a one-year-old, so I made a new bigger pattern. This was trickier, as I had to sew on the collar before assembling the pieces, and I forgot to add ribbon to the neck insert. The eyes are glued and then sewn (I must get a thimble)for safety. I think I need to refine my technique, so will keep trying...

I think they are very goo! I like the bigger one more but the small one is cuter.
I didn't use proper stuffing on the little dog, just leftover bits and pieces, so you can see it hasn't filled out very well. I didn't want to waste stuffing on a practice dog, but now I think I should have done it properly!
