I have a confession to make. I started this project last year for Christmas. I got partially through the nose and then stopped. I decided it would be best to finish it this year and get this particular UFO off of my plate. I opted for fabric binding rather than the satin quilt binding. I used a fabric that I considered to be ugly for the trim, ears and tie.
The eyes are doll eyes that I had in my crafts collection. For the eyelashes I used embroidery thread and for the nose cotton twist. I did have to struggle with attaching the blanket to the head (I think I overstuffed it). I was unable to sew by machine so I made several passes with needle and thread (hand sewing is not my strong suit). The body of this little guy is fleece, as is the blanket. It is so soft. I stitched the bow to the head and blanket in hopes that it doesn't come off. Time will tell.
I don't recall having any other difficulty with this pattern, but then again... it has been a year.
