So it did take slightly longer than expected but the Platypumpkin I mentioned last time is now fully formed! This is a pattern that is part of the Patreon rewards of CholyKnight/Sew Desu Ne that they made a while ago and is now in a retired patterns folder. The combination of a pumpkin body and the platypus elements really amuses me. I chose to make it in the same colour scheme as the original was, with an orange body, brown feet, tail, beak and stalk and a green leaf.
It came together easily, as almost all Sew Desu Ne patterns do. You sew the body pieces together but gather them slightly first so that they resemble a pumpkin. The leaf gets incorporated when the body is put together. Then the feet and tail are stitched to the bottom circle which then gets attached to the body in one fell swoop. Then the eyes, beak and stalk get added and the playpumpkin is done!
I don’t generally do anything for Halloween, but I think this guy is going to be my decoration and put a smile on my face every time.
