I’ve been thinking about designing a series of free stuffed animal patterns that could be made with thin leather and was inspired by the current Chinese new year festivities to make one and celebrate the year of the ox.
Tracing the pattern onto the leather and cutting out the pieces
Trace the outline of the pieces of the pattern onto the leather and mark the stitching points.
You will need:
Finally cutout the different pieces.
Cutout two eyes from your black leather/fabric/felt as well.
.
This step is optional. You can of course choose to use the leather in its natural state.
Apply the desired dye to the different pieces of the ox.
I chose to go with blends of red and white dye to stay on theme with Chinese new year.
A leather finishing product is eventually applied to seal the pigments.

Following the markings that your prepared earlier, poke trough every stitching hole to get the pieces ready for stitching.
Stitching the horns
You will see in those pictures that I used a kind of “reversed” cross stitch (reversed because the crossing of the threads is inside instead of outside). It took a really, really long time to stitch like this which is why I recommend a baseball stitch instead as it should be easier.
Start by stitching the opposite components of the horns together.
Don’t cut the thread when you get to the end. We will use the remaining thread to attach the horns to the main body.
Stuff them to give them a proper shape.
When the horns are stitched and stuffed, stitch them their respective main body side.
Pay special attention to their orientation so that both sides end up being symmetrical.
Glue the eyes on with leather cement.
Add the ears by stitching them through two of the horns stitching points.
Start with one side, being very careful about aligning the stitching hole between the two pieces.
When you reach the back leg and complete one side, start stitching the opposite one.
Stuff the legs before moving on to the next step.
Stitch the neck to both sides of the main body.
When you arrive to the edge connecting to the forehead, attach this piece as well, continue stitching the edge of the neck and body, then come back to stitch the two remaining edges of the forehead.
Stitch the neck to both sides of the main body.
When you arrive to the edge connecting to the forehead, attach this piece as well, continue stitching the edge of the neck and body, then come back to stitch the two remaining edges of the forehead.
Make a knot at the end of your tail so that it is ready to be put in its final spot since we are about to close down the ox.
Final step!
Stuff the head and start stitching the two sides along the back edges.
Stuff along as you go. Also: don’t be like me, be mindful in regard to the amount of stuffing you’re fitting in. I lovingly called my ox “Fat Albert”.
Once you get to where you would like to position the tail, stick the knotted side in and secure it between two stitch points.

打印和切割图案
Print it and cut-out all the pieces.
检查您的打印设置，确保图案大小未被调整。您可以通过测量图案上的测试框以确保其边长为 5 厘米来检查打印是否正确。
在厚纸上打印，以便更容易描绘皮革上的形状。 200g/cm2及以上是理想的（只要你的打印机可以处理）
