the problem is always, ALWAYS finding the right colour fur. if there are any large material shops near you, they should have a decent selection and with some luck, even the actual right colour. then you need upholstery foam to give shape to the head, tail and ears. the same shop should be able to order it in the right thickness for you. after that, it's just a matter or getting crazy with the sewing machine
