Info on January's pattern reward: lion cub

Here's some info on January's pattern reward: a lion cub with a removable fabric wreath mane! You can make a heart shaped mane for Valentine's Day or a normal circular one!

I work on my patterns up until the release date. Until then, patterns are subject to minor changes, including looks and difficulty. I'll do my best to keep this post up to date!

About the pattern:

• 5/10 difficulty

• The plush is ~12" tall to the ears when sitting on a surface without the mane

• Plush can be made with any plush fabric like smooth minky (recommended), luxe cuddle minky, mochi minky, or fleece

• Paw pads can be made puffy & 3D if mochi minky is used (instructions provided)

• Embroidery files for puffy paw pads, the eyes, the mouth, and ITH file for the nose (4x4 and 5x7 files provided)

• Plush is entirely machine sewn except for hand sewing the fabric nose on

• Removable mane requires wire and double sided fabric (patterned quilting cotton recommended). Cutting non-stretch fabric with pinking shears is highly recommended to minimize fraying on raw edges
