It is an original EFI Little Things design.
About the Pattern
This digital sewing pattern allows you to make a 55 cm (22”) Lion soft toy with a yarn mane and embroidered facial details finished to your own style and preference.
The finished toy shown is illustrated in the product photos.
Additional images are shared for inspiration.
Important — EFI Friends Collection Note
First EFI Friends toy? Please choose the Pattern + Full Tutorial version.
I strongly recommend this option for first-time EFI Friends makers, as the pattern-only listing does not include the full construction instructions. The pattern-only option is designed for returning customers who already own the general EFI Friends sewing tutorial.
All toys in the EFI Friends collection share one general sewing tutorial covering the full making process.
If you already own a fox, hare, mouse, goose, deer, or other EFI Friends pattern with the full tutorial, please do not purchase this full listing again.
Instead, choose the “Lion sewing pattern only” option available in the shop.
