Hobbes Plush

I would gladly share the pattern, but by the time I came up with this result I had completely diverged from the pattern, hand stitching together the belly to make it work. So the pattern I have is worthless, I don't even think I could make another exactly the same.

This is the only sewing I've done since summer.
I did this over Christmas break as a gift for our class secret santa exchange. Shanna was thirlled.

He's pretty much life-size sitting at about 17" tall. Made from fleece and poly-fil stuffing. The stripes were a pain because i had to sew them all on by hand.

No, I won't make you one and no this doesn't mean I back.
