I had never made a stuffed animal before buying this pattern, and was a little nervous about it, but the instructions were really clear and the detailed pictures were very helpful that I had no trouble at all! It only took me about two days to make it, but that was because I took a break between making the head and the body, I think it could easily be an afternoon project. I made this as a gift for my new nephew, and my sister in law loved it so much, it's the perfect size for a baby gift! Very easy to customize with different fabrics as well. I would definitely recommend!!
