This is Pippin, she will be a gift for a friend who has Yorkshire Terriers. She was made with the 'Teddy' pattern by Noble Fabrics. Her wavy fur is beautifully soft and silky, even after I'd added a little extra shading with Faber Castell pens and smoothed it into shape with VO5 gel spray. She has faux suede paws and is filled with polyfil and steel shot. She is the smallest animal I've made yet and was fun to do, but I don't think I'd want to make anything smaller!

He's 8 inches nose to tail (stumpy) and 6 inches tall in the 'down' position. Just the right size to sit on the palm of my hand! He actually turned out much better than I expected, his fluffy fur was probably the biggest challenge.

Now, what shall I make next..........hhmmmmmm???

Julia,

Do have a go at it, believe me if I can do it anyone can! I found the opening in the body was rather too small when fitting the limbs. Leaving a larger opening, or one on each side of the body, would make it easier. You could then close one opening after you've done the limb joints. I bought the fabric pack from Noble Fabrics which came with cotter pin joints (no metal washers), but you might prefer to replace these with nut & bolt joints for a tighter fit. Look forward to seeing your Yorkie when you get around to him.
