About this pattern

Corinne Bradd's aardvark toy is a wonderful option for toymaking beginners.

Did you know that an aardvark’s tongue can reach up to 45cm long? It’s just the right length for licking up a delicious nighttime meal of ants (with a side of termites, of course). Made from a complementary medley of cottons, this plushie is sure to be a helpful sidekick when kids are on the trail for bugs.

Top sewing tip

To sew curves accurately, try marking the seam allowances with a fabric pencil first, reducing your stitch length, and sewing in one go to prevent jaggedness.
