The only change I made was instead of using felt for the eyes, I used a few single vertical stitches to better emulate the look of the SMB3 and SMW era bob-ombs (back when they had vertical slit eyes and not ovals as many enemies and characters were later given as graphics improved).
I made one mistake in a decrease in the front, but I'm still very happy with the results. He turned out way smaller than I was expecting: just a little smaller than a baseball.
One of my future projects is to alter the pattern slightly and make a Bombette to go with him.
Right now I'm working on a non-geeky project (well, aside from the part of the project that requires a hyperbolic psuedo sphere) but after that I've got a string of geeky projects that I'll hopefully be sharing here. Two of which should be originals. WIsh me luck
