Gavle goat plushie progress! My initial draft of the body pattern wasn't going to work, so I redrew it, and now I have one leg sewn (for proof of concept and to compare sizing), the body pieces cut out, and just need to sew the other three legs before I can sew the body together. Once I have the body and legs together, I'll tackle drafting the head and neck patterns. The horns will be the last pattern I draft, because I could do a bunch of math to try to figure out how long they should be, or I could wait until I've sewn the rest and hold up some paper in the gap where they should be and draw the pattern on the paper, and one of those is much easier lol

#the person behind the yarn #sometimes the pattern making process involves sewing the central piece of the plushie and THEN drafting the rest of the pattern #the goat is going to be a little smaller than I originally intended #but all the individual pattern pieces should fit onto regular printer paper #so it shouldn't be too tricky to share #it will involve a fair amount of handsewing though #well okay one piece absolutely won't fit on printer paper #but it's just a long rectangle so I can just give the measurements for that piece
