- fabric brown or black for the nose 15x15 centimeters;
- threads are black, white and in the color of the main fabric;
- buttons 2 pieces black and 2 pieces in the color of the main fabric (instead of the second pair of buttons, you can take a zipper to match the main fabric);
- the basis for a rectangular pillow (pre-filled with a suitable filler).

First you need to cut out all the details from a piece of fabric. You need to do this according to the following pattern. Sizes are calculated based on what size the pillow is planned to be and what size the pillow base is sewn.

Then you should flash all the small details. The tail and legs are stitched indented about 1 centimeter from the edge of the fabric. Turn to the front.

The fabric for the body is sewn in width, taking into account the fact that the smell will be overlapped.
Ear blanks are two isosceles triangles. Roll each part in half along the line from the top to the base and stitch along the edge.
