Simplicity 2809

I bought this pattern over a year ago; thinking that one day I would actually make a couple of dolls. Complete with cute clothes and accoutrements. I even bought the fabric I was going to use. You can imagine how this tale ends; everything was neatly stashed away and forgotten. Although I never actually started sewing I still feel that this pattern is an UFO. And as such on my list of things to tackle.

To start off slowly I made another cat/bear for a friends little girl. They are supposed to be two different patterns but whenever I make them the cat looks like a bear and vice versa. Our little guy really likes his Max; it is made from corduroy and apparently very tasty. He especially likes chewing on the legs.

All this little guy needs is a bow and he'll be on his way to Germany. And I'm getting ready for the doll - wish me luck!
