It's Pig/Wolf, two stuffed animals in one. I made it from a pattern (yes, I used a pattern!) by Lizette Greco, who designs her creations based on drawings made by her children. She also has another creation that I love called the See-Through Predator which is a wolf with a mesh belly with a zipper, so you can make little pigs and people to save or let the wolf digest as you see fit. Making the pig/wolf took a long time to finish because it has a zillion pieces, so I think I'm done with stuffed animals for awhile.
I did cheat once on my April vow by buying one piece of white felt from Michaels. I had everything else for the project, adapting the pattern to use what I had, even cutting up a too small shirt for the green and white fabric. I tried to substitute something else for the white felt, but I just couldn't make it work. Making the pig/wolf was fun for me, but Rush is not in the least bit interested in the finished project.

Well I think it looks creepy and fantastic. Congrats on the finished product.

Well, I would for sure play with pig/wolf.... I'm just saying...
