Cute little squirrel and hedgehog, instructions and pattern - English (pdf)

A little squirrel and a little hedgehog to sew yourself: the squirrel has a soft, fluffy tail and tiny ears with little tufts, and the hedgehog has a pointy nose and a (in this case, not so) prickly back. This digital pattern (PDF) contains all the steps — with photos — to make your own cute little squirrel and hedgehog: about 12 cm tall (excluding the ears) and completely customisable using fabrics from your own stash.

The pattern is in English and is fully detailed in a PDF instruction booklet, with clear step-by-step explanations and photos for each step: from tracing the pattern pieces, sewing the body, arms and legs, to attaching the tail and ears and adding a little face. With just a little experience of sewing soft toys, you’ll be able to get started on this.

You can sew the squirrel and hedgehog by hand or on a sewing machine.

Materials you’ll need:

• Fabric such as cotton, linen, flannel or velvet
• Faux fur
• Chenille (optional)
• Sewing thread, embroidery thread (for eyes, nose and mouth) and strong thread (for attaching arms and legs)
• Cotton thread for the tufts on the ears
• Filling of your choice (toy filling, wool or an old cushion)
