How to make a retro fawn softie from the new book Palm-Size Softies

Is this little fawn cute or what? I knew instantly when I started flipping through

Palm-Size Softies:

Patterns and Ideas for 44 Stuffed Pets and Dolls That Fit in the Palm of Your Hand

this was going to be the first softie I was going to sew.

The patterns and directions to make this retro fawn softie were so easy to work with and follow.

First I made a copy of the patterns from Palm-Size Softies.

Then I cut all the pieces out of fabric.

All that was left to do was follow the sewing and assembly instructions (see below).

Want to make one yourself? Just click on the retro fawn and pony patterns and get sewing!

Assembly instructions:

Accessorize your softie with faux fur and a pom pom nose.
