#778 Mimikyu

Hello all!!

I've been mysteriously quiet lately but I've been very productive. Just lazy when it comes to actually resizing my images and putting these patterns up. I have a backlog of actual patterns to put up so I'll work through them slowly. I figure I would come back with one that a lot of people have been happy with.

This Mimikyu is 30.5cm (12 inches) tall from base to the tip of its crooked ear. Features are needlefelted on and everything is sewn on and attached so there are no hard parts.

Round 2 - 5: SCx18 (18, 4 rounds)  

Stuff and sew closed. Leave a tail.

Sew the three pieces together to form the zig zag shape tail and then sew onto the tip of the back yellow piece as well as the black shadow underneath. If you like, can also sew a stitch joining the tail onto the back of the mimikyu to hold the tail up. The stuffed tail that I make does stand up on its own without needing the extra stitch.
