an alternative to wearing dead animals.

I was going to enter this for the ultimate DIY contest, until I read the official rules (because I do that) &you have to be 18+ ):

oh well, &you can also:
stuff it to make it a stuffed animal,
stab pins in it &roll it up to make one of those things
or leave it flat as a scarf.

1

First, I drew out the fox on a paper &then drew it on the fleece. cut it out, but DON'T cut on the line, cut outside the line by about half an inch
2

trace the cut out to the cotton lining, &sew together on the line (inside out), leave an opening at the tail. You can trim an excess lining or fleece.
3

flip the whole thing rightside out &you will have a weird snake like thing.
4

Make 4 triangles as ears, sew the sides, flip it rightside out &sew on the ears, you can stuff them a bit too.
5

close the tail by folding the fabric inward, and sewing.
6

add buttons if you're not giving it to an infant/young child. you can sew on felt eyes as an alternative. sew whiskers &the nose the you're done.

another option is to sew a white piece of fabric at the end of the tail to make it more "fox like"
