Hand sewing...

I ended up spending only a couple of hours stitching this weekend. It took a lot longer then I hoped/expected. I didn't draw on my stitching lines, so I was using my thumb as a gauge. I thought I was doing alright, until I turned it over. I am pleased with the fur, and how the nap is behaving. Anyway, someone has offered me use of their mom's sewing room, so I'm going to take that offer, and hopefully have the thing assembled by the end of this week. Then I can concentrate on the mask, which I'm planning on making out of vegetable tanned leather, which can be molded when wet, and holds its shape when it dries.
