Jerry the Frog is a big plushie approx. 30" (76 cm) tall when standing. He is the perfect sewing project for those who are looking to impress family members and friends with the cuddliest heirloom toy. Jerry the Frog is so cute that he will inevitably become any child's inseparable buddy and the best of nighttime companions.
The pattern is suitable for confident beginners or intermediate sewists who have already sewn a few craft projects with a sewing machine, can sew a few tight curves and master a few basic hand stitches.
The pattern is perfect for those who are looking to achieve a unique heirloom plushie that will make family and friends smile (and envy you for the achievement...), and for those who wish to sew handmade gifts that will be cherished for ever.
