Snuggle Sloth

A smaller cuddly version of my original Huggable Sloth, This pattern is easy to make, and put together. Both the arms and legs are made as a single piece, so there’s no worrying about lining things up when sewing them on! A detailed photo tutorial is also included for each step of embroidering the face, and needle sculpting to get just the right shape. You’ll be able to create exactly what you see in the photos - no behind the scenes proprietary secrets! Snuggle Sloth sits 12” tall, the perfect size for a bedtime buddy or travelling companion!
Take a peek at the projects tab to see the size comparison between the two.
