Sue the Squirrel
Finished Size: 30 cm / 12 inches
This sweet little squirrel is named after ‘Sue’ a.k.a Suraliyama - one of the lovely sewists I met in India when I visited Bluemango. There I saw the cutest Indian squirrel which the locals call ‘aneel’ and thought it was a toy design just begging to be made! This toy pattern has some small pieces so I wouldn’t recommend it for a beginner toy maker who should start with one of my easy patterns.
Toy Sewing Pattern includes:
- Ready to print, FULL-SIZE pattern (print at 100% - no need to resize!)
- A colour picture of the completed Funky Friend toy
- A full list of material requirements
- Layout diagram
- Link to an online photo tutorial with step-by-step photos.
- Easy to follow instructions
RECOMMENDED FABRICS:
I sewed my squirrel with quilting cottons. You could use minky, cuddle and even fake fur especially for the tail to give your squirrel a fun fluffy look.
