Stuffed Cow pattern

Cow's are one of my favourite animals.
I think they are very cute. So I just had to make a stuffed cow pattern!

On the photo's below you can see a cow made from cotton and a cow made from fleece.
The fleece cow is much rounder then the cotton one, because fleece stretches a bit.

Make your own super adorable plush cow with my step by step easy to follow sewing pattern!

fox softie sewing pattern - plush diy

I made a new plush pattern, this time a stuffed fox!

My name Vos is dutch for Fox, so it was about time I made one :)

I used cotton for the body and felt for the eyes, fleece for the nose. Other fabrics will work to!

review kyuuto japanese crafts

During my kids summer holiday I started crocheting again.

My sons picked out a very cute dog pattern from the book: Kyuuto! Japanese crafts Amigurumi. A very cute crochet book with lots of cute amigurumi's!

It was a shame that there was a mistake in the book. The arm pattern wasn't correct.
But luckily I knew how to fix it. Just made the arms longer then the pattern in the book untill they looked like the photo.

It is still a very cute amigurumi book, I can recommend it.
The patterns are very easy to follow.

My sons picked out the colors for the dogs. The brown one is for my oldest son (5) and the very colorful one is for the youngest (3)
