 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.
