PATTERN
Advice:
To avoid shrinkage of cotton
after washing, wash, dry and
steam the part before making
the pattern.
Fleece shouldn’t be washed
and steamed.
Put the body to the back of
the fabric. Contour the part,
leaving everywhere 1 cm for
bending.
Do not contour stuffed hands
and feet.
Cut the part and make small
cuts (5-6 mm) in the places
marked with black.
Baste the fabric with a
contrast thread, bending 1 cm.
Fleece should be contoured
and sewed on without bending.
Sew the fabric to the body
with a thread of matching
color.
It can be done in several
ways:
1. With buttonhole stitch
2. With backstitch.
Try to make denser stitches
in the places where you’ve
made the cuts.
