Loved this pattern and the way that it turned out. The only part that was tricky was sewing the "foot pads" on to the legs.....but not really too difficult. Pattern was detailed and easy to follow.

This toy is so cute, quite easy to make - some parts can be a little tricky. Worth the effort though.
