I was going to enter this for the ultimate DIY contest, until I read the official rules (because I do that) &you have to be 18+ ): oh well, &you can also: stuff it to make it a stuffed animal, stab pins in it &roll it up to make one of those things or leave it flat as a scarf.

Instructions

  1. Small photo 0270 1283194490

    First, I drew out the fox on a paper &then drew it on the fleece. cut it out, but DON'T cut on the line, cut outside the line by about half an inch

  2. Small photo 0272 1283194558

    trace the cut out to the cotton lining, &sew together on the line (inside out), leave an opening at the tail. You can trim an excess lining or fleece.

    flip the whole thing rightside out &you will have a weird snake like thing.

  4. Small photo 0274 1283194752

    Make 4 triangles as ears, sew the sides, flip it rightside out &sew on the ears, you can stuff them a bit too.

    close the tail by folding the fabric inward, and sewing.

    add buttons if you're not giving it to an infant/young child. you can sew on felt eyes as an alternative. sew whiskers &the nose the you're done. another option is to sew a white piece of fabric at the end of the tail to make it more "fox like"
