This little guy has taken over my sewing room - I currently have 12 of them sitting around and I have plans for more. Fair warning: once you make one, you won't stop.
I went through about four different drafts before I got things exactly the way I wanted. I shortened the neck, shortened the beak, altered the shape of the head, and rounded the belly so it sits on its own. I changed the shape of the back trying to get more of a feather vibe, and redesigned the feet through several different versions. The result is a goose that's distinctly its own thing, and the mod possibilities are where this pattern really shines.

About the Pattern
The pattern includes 12 pages of detailed written instructions with photographs of each step. Pattern pieces for both the 20" and 16" sizes are included as separate print-at-home files.
Both sizes are sewn the same way, though the 16" goose can be a tiny bit more difficult due to smaller pieces, specifically the beak, turning the feet and neck, and stuffing the head. But it's 100% doable. Just take it slow. There are also tips on page 3 for scaling down to a 9" Tiny Goose, though that one's tricky due to the size and isn't officially part of the pattern.
Companion Video
A 2.5-hour private companion video walks you through the whole process step by step. The link is included inside the pattern PDF. Timestamps for every section are written into the pattern so you can jump to exactly what you need or watch the whole thing start to finish.
