I made this guy a little while ago, mainly for mooching about in. It came up a bit huge and almost man like, but thats fine for what I am after. Although if I made it again, I think I would round the bottom edge, as the square edge makes it look a bit boxy.
Made of slightly stretchy check fabric, trimmed with some green leafy type fabric and a selection of mismatched buttons.
My fella for going out into the cold with me to take some pics!

Looks great! I love how you used a different print for the collar stand. The different buttons lend a fun feeling to the whole thing. Great job!
