If you have always wanted to learn how to make stuffed animals, here is your chance. This is an absolutely adorable little sitting donkey. The part that I like the most is the cool feature with croceted mane. The original pattern was from an old book that I saw at the library. You can use what ever frabic you want for this little pet, I used red cotton fabric, but I think courdroy looks really cute too.
To get started here is what you'll need:
Print out of the pattern, and cut it out.
Fabric
scissors
fabric glue
brown/black and white felt
sewing machine yarn
knitting yarn for the mane
needle
crocheting hook that works for the size of yarn you chose
polyfilling
If you'd rather just shop for the real thing, this little guy in the picture below is listed at the Etsy site at: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=6122901

Copy and print the pattern out the size you want the donkey. For comparison, my body piece size was about 9 ".
Cut out the pices for the donkey from your fabric. Cut the fabric about 1/4" larger than the paper pattern on all sides to account for seam allowances.
(Options: you can cut the ear and belly parts out of white felt, to give the donkey a different look. Here I cut out the insides of the ears out of white felt.)
First I sewed the belly parts together, and then the ears. Tunr the ears inside out.
Second I did the tail. Roll up the white felt and sew the red fabric around it. Pull over the right side of the tail, and sew the seam closed.
