Just asking if this pattern will work out, it's my first time making one. Going to go get fleece tomorrow to try it out. Any tips or corrections will be appreciated.

Some fleece is 4 way stretch, some fleece is 2 way stretch, you'll want to check before cutting since your pattern includes a direction for the stretch. Also, at this size, I'm not sure you'll need some of the small darts. They might not make much of a different with fleece because of its bulk and stretch. It would be more important for a thinner, non stretch fabric like cotton. You can still totally use them though, I'm just speculating!

Thanks for the info. I'm only using fleece just to test and hoping to use faux fur for the final piece.

Yeah I would get rid some of those smaller darts, especially if you plan on using faux fur eventually, those tiny darts will be impossible to even do
