Waddle over for the cutest Penguin Sewing Patterns

Penguins are cool (and I don’t just mean because they live in cool climates!). I love watching penguins waddle around and swim at the zoo or aquarium. I had such a great experience seeing them in the wild at Phillip Island, here in Australia.

And don’t forget awesome penguin movies, like Happy Feet, March of the Penguins and Penguins of Madagascar (but let’s not talk about the Penguin from Batman).

So I don’t think I’m the only one who loves penguins. If you want a penguin of your own, why not sew up one of these cute penguin sewing patterns:
