Disclaimer: I've never made an animal before, I also had nothing to stuff with it so I stuffed it with grocery bags. I didn't have buttons for eyes. And finally, I've never had to sew limbs onto anything before.
I call this "penis trunk" [I'm so immature, I giggled through the whole pattern for the trunk]
I think I'll try different animals. But one was enough for today. It did teach me a lot of stitches that I have never had to use yet.
