Darwin the Piecemeal Pony

I made this freaky little guy using scraps recycled from a useless bedsheet, a ruined pair of pajama pants, and some bits of fake fur. He's sewn by hand (and wouldn't have been, if I only had a sewing machine) with cotton floss of various bright colors.

He features mismatched embroidered eyes (one of which is merely a red X), a red spiral on his bum, asymmetrical legs, inside-out ears, and one fluffy hoof. What's not to love?

I named him Darwin because evolution favors freaks and mutants.

The pattern I used (and slightly altered) was courtesy of Nocturnal Equine and his final design was somewhat inspired by Uglydolls.
