And, here is my fifth pattern in my "CHRISTMAS CHEER
CUDDLERS" - Penguin. All of my Cuddlers are made from the same
basic
pattern with feature variations to individualize.
I made these Rag doll style which means they are not overly stuffed with Polyfil. These are perfect for the kids, for decorating around the house, attach to a wreath, nestle in or under your tree, sit on your shelf/table/mantle/bed...just lots of different ways to show off each one...
So, I hope you all will enjoy making your very own PENGUIN!!!
