Cow Hand Puppet-sewing pattern

The Cow is the second animal from my Project "Old McDonald Farm" Sewing pattern so I am half way trough









The idea was to create a pattern for a cute but very easy to make Little cow , for beginners level, just using hand stitching , and I am happy with the outcome

I wondered a bit about the balance between the black and white so white body with black patches or black body with white patches??? but then the first option appeared to be better



I must admit that the cow is one of my very favourite puppets that i have created
