What You Need+-
You'll Need. . .
- 1/2 yd. fleece fabric (I used red Cuddle Minky for the main part of the body and a scrap of red chevron Cuddle Minky for his contrasting belly)
- scraps of gold tissue lame for the wings and his frill (quilting cotton also works really well - pick a fun print!)
- tiny scrap of wool felt for the nostrils (I used Strawberry Dream)
- small piece of Soft & Stable for the wing linings
- 2 9mm safety eyes
- 1 cup plastic pellets for filling (I like Fairfield Poly Pellets)
- polyester fiberfill (I love Fairfield brand Soft Touch Polyfil Supreme)
