Lucky is a cute little Labrador puppy, by Genniewren Designs, that’s the perfectly-sized pet for your 18 inch dolls.
Made from short pile soft cuddle plush (Minky® in the US, Shannon Cuddle 3 in the UK) this adorable little pup is so sweet you just want to hug him (or her!).
The bonus dog bed can be made from fleece or any soft stretchy fabric, e.g. fleece or stretch velvet. It has plenty of room for two puppies to share.
The Lucky Labrador Puppy pattern has been designed with novice toymakers in mind. The body has only four main pattern pieces, and the head has three main pieces.
The required techniques to finish the puppy are all explained with detailed step by step photographs inside the PDF sewing pattern.
