Harshal Charhate. Q: is paperback edition have sewn binding? Manik Batra. Q: is this paperback or hardcover?????? I tested out sewing some stripes onto a practice arm at the point shown in the third photo , but I didn't like the way the machine-stitched stripes looked on the completed arm. I decided to complete the entire Hobbes doll without stripes and sew them all on by hand at the end.

This proved incredibly tedious, but allowed for very precise sizing and placement of stripes, which I appreciated. Please examine the last three photos carefully if you have any questions on how the rounded ends of the arms and legs are accomplished. Turn the arms and legs right side out, and fill with stuffing. Do not sew them shut at this point. To get a nice curve to the ears, fold the bottom half of each ear in half and place a few hand stitches to hold them in place, as shown in the photos.

Sew all the pleats on both pieces of the head as shown in the photos and indicated on the pattern. Before sewing the two head pieces together, sew the ears in place onto one of the head pieces, right side to right side, just outside of the top two pleats, as shown in the fifth photo. The ears appear different because this was an earlier test piece, but the method is the same.

Note that the pattern for the ear pieces is not round, but they will appear so once they are sewn into the head. With the ears in place where you want them, sew the two halves of the head together, and turn right-side-out.

Fill the head with stuffing, but do not sew it shut. Sew the tail pieces together in the same manner as the arms and legs, according to the pattern, and fill with stuffing. I added some stuffing beads to the end of the tail to add some weight so it would flop around. Use orange thread to hand stitch the head in place. Nice, tight slipstitches work best for this, as well as for attaching the arms, legs and tail to the body.

Learn how to do the slipstitch right here. Thank you jessyratfink. I didn't like the way the head looked after my first attempt shown in the first photo , so I took it off and added more stuffing and then re-sewed it in place.

The extra stuffing helped create a more defined transition from head to body, which I thought more closely matched the Hobbes doll as he appeared in the strip. Use a needle and thread to nip and tuck the arms as shown to create a shape similar to what is shown here in the first three photos. Examine photos 4 - 7 carefully to see the steps I took to achieve this shape. The completed arm should be about 5 inches long. Use a needle and thread to attach the arms and legs to the body as shown.

A curved upholstery needle may make things a bit easier when you're working in the tight crevices where the arms and legs meet the body. Disregard the muzzle showing in these photos. It was a first attempt which I wasn't happy with, so it was removed and replaced with a new one which is shown in the next step. I recommend hand stitching the nose and mouth in place before attaching the muzzle to the head. I used a simple whipstitch thanks again jessy to attach the nose to muzzle, and muzzle to head, as well as for attaching all the stripes later on.

Stitch the muzzle in place, but leave the bottom inch or so open. Fill it with stuffing and then stitch it all the way closed. You could sand them down by hand, but it's much quicker with a Dremel. Just be careful, work slowly, and don't sand off your finger tips. You're welcome! Hand stitching on all of the stripes is a tedious process, but it's rewarding each time you see a newly completed stripe and you're one step closer to a completed Hobbes.

In the pattern, I've numbered and labled all the stripes to help you know where to put them. Note that the first stripe below the neck stripe is number 1 in the pattern, and so on down his back. Note that depending on the placement of your arms and legs, you may need to make adjustments to the size and shape of the back stripes, mainly numbers 1, 2, and 6. The tail is the one piece of the body I left off until the very end.

It was easier to sew the stripes onto it first, and then attach it to the body after. Through the strip, Hobbes is seen wearing a variety of different things. I made him a tie, a Calvinball mask with flag, and his classic red scarf. Maybe I'll get around to making him some other items as well when I get a chance. A cool sombrero, perhaps? For anyone that decides to make this, I'd love to get some feedback on how it goes.

Please let me know if there are any parts that need more clarification or detail. My kids love it. I'm kind of nervous that they're going to destroy it, but I guess I could always fix it, or at least make a new one. Let me know what you think, and if you make yourself a Hobbes doll please post a photo in the comments below! This is SO awesome! In hindsight, can any of the stripes be sewn on before connecting the parts together? To help ensure they stay on, and to help save some of the hand-stitching time?

Reply 15 days ago. If I recall, when I was testing out my first rough pattern, I tried sewing stripes onto the individual body pieces before assembling the body. But the machine stitches contorted the stretchy fleece fabric so much that the individual body sections became wavy and misshapen, and just looked all wonky when assembled and stuffed.
