Rattata Stuffie

I pick up every Free Pattern Friday release sew desu ne? hosts. Because I like to be prepared for any stuffie emergency. This isn't an emergency, but I did want to use one of their patterns to make a Pokemon stuffie of Rattata.

I grabbed some purple fleece and set up the embroidery machine to do some fun stitching. The first stitch-out was fine, but poorly aligned, so I had to stitch it out again. Thank goodness I still have fleece. If you want to get into making stuffies, I highly recommend their collection of tutorials. Great stuff!

I cut out all the bits. Some of these seem so small!

I assembled the head. I stitched the center seam a little off-kilter, but I don't mind. 

I modified the tail so I could get the appropriate Rattata curl. 

Assembled the body, then stuffed the head and the body. The hardest part was hand-stitching the head onto the body. I suppose it wasn't difficult. It just took patience. 

Here is the backside. 

That signature tail.

And the darling little face.
