ADDITIONAL INFO ON THE PLUSH:

• The body is ~1.5 ft. long without the tail
• The tail length can be varied; the snow leopard example pictured has a 2.5 ft tail, for a total length of 4 ft.
• Plush can be made with any plush fabric like luxe cuddle minky, smooth minky, mochi minky, or fleece
• Paw pads can be made puffy & 3D if mochi minky is used (instructions provided)
• Entirely machine sewn except for hand sewing the fabric nose on
• Pattern is very floppy and cuddly; legs can be posed in many different ways
• Embroidery files/applique for spots is NOT provided - using patterned fabric is highly recommended. The plush is very large and doing spots manually will be a ton of work!
