What to know

• The seagull finds it difficult to sit or stand by itself. It can sit, but it has to be leaning back, or against a wall.

• The eyes are sewn on, making this ideal for young children, however, just make sure to check on them often and make sure that the wings, legs, and beak are still firmly attached.

• If you know that this stuffed animal will get thrown around a lot, then this is not for you! I recommend a chicken or a penguin if that is the case.

• I got this seagull pattern from a book by Sarah Abbondio.
