      •100% polyester thread

      •Measuring tools

      •Pattern tracing paper or cloth

      •Dry/steam iron, ironing board and press cloths

      Patterns Included

      We have used industry standard markings on the patterns included in this book to make them easy to use. Each pattern includes a ¼-inch seam allowance and straight-grain line as well as other pattern marks to make construction easier.

      Patterns are included at full size. Make patterns by tracing the included patterns onto pattern tracing paper or tissue paper.

      Be sure to transfer all markings from the included pattern.

      Be aware that some of the patterns will be used for multiple animals. For example, the Lion, Giraffe and Elephant share the same tail pattern pieces. The Cap, Wedge, Foot Pad and Leg patterns are used to make all the leg segments and rings.

      Sewing With Fleece

      Made from 100 percent polyester fibers, fleece is a totally synthetic fiber first developed in the late 1970s. Its popularity stems from several appealing properties. Fleece is warm, soft, machine washable and comes in lots of bright colors, making it a wonderful fabric for toys.

      If you’ve never sewn with fleece before it can be a bit intimidating because it’s rather thick and stretchy, but with a few tips, you’ll see that fleece is actually very forgiving and easy to sew with.

      Cutting Fleece

      Most fleece has two distinct sides: a smooth one and a textured one as shown in Photo 2. When you gently pull the fabric along the cross grain it will curl toward the wrong or smooth side which indicates that the textured side is the right side.

      It is easier to cut small toy pattern pieces from a single layer of fabric. Lay out the fabric right side up and position pattern pieces with the printed side up. If two of the same piece are needed and the second is to be reversed, position the pattern upside down or reversed and cut a second piece. Specific cutting instructions are given on each
