Decided this might be a good place to ask about patterns - I am not good at the whole sewing thing, and don't know anyone who is, all my friends being more of the outside type like me!

What I am looking for, ( and I have spend so long trawling ebay etc that I'm getting fed up) is a pattern for a model horse or dog, that is made out of fur fabric, that looks like the actual animal. Not some ghastly humanised or Disneyfied version of it. I have found some lovely carthorse ones but they are in America. You know those plush animals that look like horses and real breeds of dogs? Well there must be patterns for them somewhere and I'm just not looking in the right place? It can even be a unicorn if the shape is right!

Have you tried somewhere like Hobbycraft?
 
Have a look at this Etsy shop @Bluebell Sewing patterns and funny enamel pins by ricracsews on Etsy

I have made several of Jodie's patterns but not animals. They are pdf files to download and print at home. Her instructions are fairly comprehensive but assume some sewing knowledge.

I'm sure Etsy downloadable patterns would be a good place to search - you get small scale specialist designers and it doesn't matter if they live on the other side of the world when it's a digital product!
 
Really lovely - you are very talented and should pursue it !!
 
So the labour of love is ongoing. Numerous hours later and the end is starting to come into sight. 3 animals down. One to go and then just the hanging ring to crochet and pop it all together. I really thought this would be the death of me at one point

Love to see a piccie once it's finished. The bits you've crocheted look lovely!

😍😍they are soooooo cute !
 
I made a couple of lap pads today. Our piggies seem to have become cuddle monsters, and will happily sit on your knee for a couple of hours. But a couple of hours of wee was resulting in wet children! They have a layer of PUL-lined Zorb, which is really absorbent and waterproof, sandwiched between fleece. They seemed to work brilliantly! Great for piggie transfer back to the cage too.
