So far I've unpicked the seam down the back and removed most of the stuffing. The stuffing in the legs and head was kept in place. I hand stitched a zipper into the opening that was created.
Since I want it to be an evening bag - for a special event - it needs a shoulder strap. So I added fabric loops and a rectangular metal finding. Later I'll add a strap...
Sometime ago I purchased a white silk scarf at a clearance sale for $2. I used a portion of the scarf to create a pouch for the inside of the body and hand stitched the pouch just inside the zipper/opening. So now the cavity is lined with a dreamy feeling silk!
I'll post again when I add the strap. Isn't he cute?!
