About this pattern

Meet Rory, the mane event in your Dressimal collection!

With his wild hair, cheeky grin, and roar-some sense of style, this chap is dressed to impress in his tiny trousers and T-shirt – complete with a pocket just big enough for a £2 coin (jungle snacks anyone?). Don't forget, once you’ve sewn the basic body, you can mix and match heads and outfits from our Dressimal series to build a whole zoo of plush pals. Whether he’s prowling the playroom or snoozing on the sofa, Rory’s bound to become a favourite. Don’t forget to print a toy label before gifting your pride and joy!
