I made this when I learned of my impending nephew, I'd never made a toy before and this was a kit that I picked up at a shop, lured in by the fact that it didn't look too difficult.
I thought it would be a nice gesture to make a toy rather than buy one, because, as it turns out, I was naïve.
It actually took MUCH longer than I thought it was going to and gave me hand cramp for days afterwards due to the funny angle you had to hold the material to be able to stitch it together in the right shape.
Definitely a learning curve and I'm not convinced he's turned out looking exactly as he should have but hopefully that will just add to his quirky cuteness.
That being said, I am still desperate to learn how to make crochet amigurumi toys, which seem to involve less sewing but more tricksy crochet that my brain just can't get around at the moment.
