More from Ku - a 2D elephant softie that can be enlarged and made into an elephant pillow (and in the original size, I think it would make a really cute brooch!), and a 4-panel Alpaca. Both are very easy to put together and can be entirely hand-sewn {image credit for both: Shishi Girl}:
And here’s what Ku writes about the 4-panel construction: “Two side panels with the proper outline, a belly + inside limbs panel to divide the bottom half into four legs, and a top of the head + inside ears panel to give the head some width and make two ears. Almost any four-legged creature can be made into a simple softie using this approach.” Great tip!
The Lambkin would look very sweet made up in felt or in colourful printed fabric. Find the free pattern and easy to follow instructions over at Pattern Bee over here: Little Lambkin by Pattern Bee
