Digital PATTERN - Realistic Guinea Pig Soft Sculpture

Have you always loved guinea pigs and wanted to have a go at making one just like your favourite little friend? This surprisingly simple pattern was many years in the making to get the shapes JUST right giving you a most realistic looking end result - but is a delight to make up.

[THE STATS:]

This pattern works beautifully in both faux fur and mohair, long pile or short. Mix and match colours to create different breeds and coat affects but try and stick to natural tones and realistic cavy colours to give the best true-to-life effect.

Pattern includes design pieces for both adult (9" x 4" x 4") and baby (7" x 3" x 3") plushies.

For the ADULT sized plushie you will need:
* 1/4m of total fur - you will have some left over (this could be made up of smaller pieces in multiple colours)
* 14-16mm black glass eyes (safety eyes are best for giving plushie to a child)
* approx 300-500g of stuffing (depending on how firmly you pack it in) 
* approx 100 - 150g of bead shot 
* embroidery thread for sewing the nose

For the BABY sized plushie you will need:
* 1/8m of total fur (this could be made up of smaller pieces in multiple colours)
* 8-10mm black glass eyes (safety eyes are best for giving plushie to a child)
* approx 100-200g of stuffing (depending on how firmly you pack it in) 
* approx 100g of of bead shot 
* embroidery thread for sewing the nose

[DISCLAIMER]
All patterns are copied exactly from my personal stock and have been hand drawn and designed by me. They are also my well loved designs and have been tested on numerous occasions - So i know that they work! Seam allowances, openings. fur directions etc have been pre-marked on the pieces.

I am also totally ok with any bears made from my patterns being re-sold. Just reference the use of my pattern when describing/tagging the bear.
