DIY Toto Dog

For Halloween this year, Audrey is going to be Dorothy.  She’s actually wearing the same costume that my mom made for me when I was a little girl!  Precious right?!  As I was searching the Halloween store for some ruby slippers to go with her costume, I came across this little Toto in a basket.  Because I am so cheap crafty, I decided to make my own.  Fabric of choice?  Felt of course!

I found an adorable pattern for a little Scotty dog here at allsorts.  I enlarged it a bit and changed the face and legs since apparently Toto is a Cairn Terrier (a little bit of trivia for the day).

He got two button eyes…

…and a red ribbon to match the ones that will be in Audrey’s hair.

He’s hand stitched using a blanket stitch and some embroidery floss.  Super cute right?!  Now your little Dorothy has no excuse for being without a Toto!

  1. Hi, I just came across this posting and would also like the pattern for the modified head of the dog. My friends’ daughters were in the Wizard of OZ and one played Toto! This will be a perfect gift for her!

  2. Wow – over 6 years ago (I bet you never thought it would go down in history)…but still such a cute project…too late for the updated pattern?

    1. Hi Dayana. I used the pattern that I provided a link to above, made it a little bigger and altered the face and legs. If you would like me to send you the changes that I made to the face, send me an email.

    1. I didn’t make it the same size as a real dog, but definitely bigger than the original pattern. Send me an email and I can try to send you the file that I enlarged. cutesycrafts at hotmail dot com.
