This smelly woodland friend might not be everyone’s favorite, but hopefully this plush might help change your mind! A skunk ended up near the top of the poll for this month (I already am excited about next month’s plans 😉), and this version has a cute sitting pose with stumpy arms and feet, tiny ears, a little nose, and a big curled tail. To finish off the look it’s got a little accent fur tuft on its head for some personality.
I gave this one a similar base body so it can match my previous trash animal, the raccoon. It has quite a few stripes to sew into the body and tail, and the tail also requires some curved sewing to get that unique curled shape. With all that in mind it’s rated a 4/10 in difficulty.
As always, the pattern comes with applique templates to make the face and forehead stripe. These will work if you’re sewing the details by regular machine or by hand. If you have an embroidery machine, you’ll find the embroidery files available for download here or with the buttons below. I hope you all like it!
