My granddaughter's current favourite books are the Hilda graphic novels. Hilda has a couple of cute sidekicks, one of which is a deer fox called Twig. There are very few toys available of this character, and what there are are hideously expensive (Etsy vendors...)
So I made one! I used some soft fleece fabric, adapted a pattern I found for a deer, and used blak felt for the feet etc. It took about 3 evenings to complete and will go away now until Christmas. The other sidekick is a weird gnome sort of thing - hopefully it will be as easy to make as this one!
Currently on the easel - a very large bear!
