Digger & Dixie Dachshund Pattern

My Dixie’s tail-down pose turned out so sweet—the pattern’s instructions for that subtle curve were spot-on. Digger’s upright puppy tail came together just as easily, and now I have a matching pair I’m genuinely proud to show off.

The instructions for sewing each tail are super clear, so even a beginner like me managed to get Dixie's droopy one and Digger's perky one looking just right. My two finished pups turned out adorable, and I can already picture making another set for a friend.

The tail difference between the two dogs is such a clever touch—Digger’s upright puppy tail adds so much character, and Dixie’s downturned one gives her a sweet, sleepy look. I sewed both up in one weekend and the pattern pieces lined up perfectly, no surprises.
