Scrappy the Westie

I was in the mood for having a go at the poorly big white dog today. 
I stitched a patch on his face as he had some holes and the backing of his fabric was very delicate.
I found some mohair pieces that were a good match in length and type, but a gold colour, not white (off) as his mohair is.

Alert, and ready for anything!

I stitched him a new nose and gave him some vintage amber glass eyes.  Then I stitched his ears back on minus the metal wire that was rusting inside them.

No eyes, no nose, this is what they call
a 'hangdog expression'

He had his head put back on and then a final clean and brush before getting his red collar back.

I am really pleased with how he has turned out as I thought I may have to throw him away (that's just me not having confidence in my own ability!).

I called him Scrappy after a dog that my sister used to have.  Here are his before and after photos.



Poor boy, he's been neglected



Alert and perky in the sunshine



I really laughed when I saw this photo - such attitude!
Sidney and Harry thought they had competition.
