Herbie Hound - felt dog softie pattern
Make this adorable dog with his ukulele - all hand sewn from felt! It's super easy. :-) It only uses a few basic stitches and the pattern includes links to videos teaching you how to do them!
He stands on his own, so he works great as a centerpiece on a table. Maybe for a birthday party!

Talk to Me
If you're hiring out any part of the process, please get in touch and we'll work out a fair licensing agreement.
For example, if you want to hire someone to die cut all the felt pieces for you, or want to manufacture kits for this design, those two scenarios would require a licensing agreement. Get in touch! I'm easy to talk to. :-) smile@shinyhappyworld.com
