The pygmy hippo
Fri, 27 Sep 2024
This was not on my to-do list, but we all know how that goes.
Moo Deng is, of course, spilling into my social media timelines now and then, and I kept thinking "a little bullet-shaped body would be pretty doable in a four-gusset format." And it's percolated around enough that, well, my brain said "we're doing this."
I am particularly delighted to report that the four-gusset body makes the legs work even without hand-sewing the darts like the Chihuahua Plush requires. They're not rock-solid but in at least up to the 8x8 size, it works fine.
I'm tempted to bump the unicorn with it, since I still haven't gotten the head/neck shape right, and the unicorn does require hand-sewing.
And now you get to see the full body:
