fox on the run...

i've known my friend, flahute, for over a decade now... and he is one of my beloved friends.... :) after seeing the raccoon i made, he requested i make a fox to add to his collection:

i started with a sketch (click on images to enlarge):



i developed a pattern and cut her (him?) out of felt:



i embroidered her (his?) nose and mouth and topstitched his stripes and socks:



i sewed her (him?) up, sewed/stuffed up her (his?) tail, sewed it into the back:



then, stuffed the rest of her (him?) up:



and here she (he?) is all finished:




it was such a pleasure making little fox/ i'm so happy that she (he?) is done. mostly because while i was making little fox, i couldn't get this song OUT OT MY HEAD:



hope you like little fox... thanks for stopping by!
