Ruben stands 17 inches tall (to the tips of his antlers) when made. He is very easy to sew by hand (or machine) in either craft or woollen felts.
His patterns has easy to follow instructions from cutting out to finishing touches with full sized pattern sheets.
Ruben makes a great festive decoration, dressed in warm cosy winter fabrics and, perhaps, decorated with holly, mistletoe or ivy. All his features are embroidered, his limbs are sewn-in or thread jointed and he can be made in felts, or a soft plush for a christmas morning hug : )
