Omigosh, this is adorable. When I was a little girl, my father's airedale saved me from a kidnapper. Although I'm no fan of dogs in general (I've been bitten three times), I have soft spot for Airedales.

I enlarged a picture of an Airedale from Google images and appliquéd it on to hand dyed felt (I bought this rather than making and dying my own)
So that it would keep its shape and not put to much strain on the felt I made a cushion pad and filled it with sawdust - as suggested by Angela. And here it is, I am really pleased with it.
Its quite large so I don't lose it.
