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.

The unicorn test

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.
