Tutorial Vosje Hug

Alright, here is the promised tutorial! Also feel like a fox hug like this make? Everything starts downloading the pattern pieces ( here and here and if neither works then you send me an email, right?). Are you ready? Then we get to work!Firstly: What do we need?

Orange, tan or other vossige dust. An inch or 40 should be sufficient. The fox is slightly more than 30 cm (seam value included) Sewing thread White felt for belly, tail and cheeks (half A4 suffice) About divider (hook or knitting) yarn or small buttons for eyes Scraps of felt in color of choice for nose, tuft of hair, possibly other accents Filler. For me that is a cup of rice, supplemented with stuffing Possibly: a remnant Vlieseline (eg H250) to strengthen the legs extra (but not necessary - I've done it here)

Second: What do we do first? Cut out the pattern pieces from fabric / felt. The pattern shows how often and what material each pattern piece to be cut. Note : Some pattern pieces (body and tail section) must be cut 2x: once the pattern with the text side up, once with the text facing down (toward the dust turned so far). This helps ensure that the pattern pieces by stitching neatly together perfectly. Make sure you have the pattern pieces cut from felt to be always the same side of pattern emerges upwards and off. All pattern pieces together look like. Is your bright fabric wrinkled (like me), wipe all pieces are equally smooth.

Place all components on the front felt body and tail portion so that everything fits. Sew all parts felted onto body and tail section. You can do this with the machine or - as I prefer to do when I work with felt - by hand.

It is intended that the cream of the uiteindjes cheeks overlaps (see pattern), so the first sewing cheeks firmly and position then the pick here. I like it best when the cream with a little stuffing fills, just before you fully commit sewn. I forgot to do this first (that's why you do not see in the picture), but corrected it at the very end. Little duplication so :). Releasing the eyes. This can be done in different ways. I sewed a few stitches with thick yarn, but you can just as well use small buttons, or small pieces of felt, leftover black flock foil, split pins, ...

All parts of you are now ready to hug inneen to be put. On to the third step!

Third: How stabbing we are together? Legs : Put each two feet with right sides at the same no and secure with a pin. Stitching together like the picture. Make sure you get to the opening of the leg (along the leg you a minute with the right side out will return) closer to the edge stitching so that you have sufficient opening to the leg smooth turning. Make inkepinkjes in the round side of the leg (see photo) and once with the right side out. Any return the iron to take to remove the wrinkles.

Arms : go in exactly the same way as for the legs to work. Fill the arms with a little stuffing on.

Tail : Put two tail pieces right sides at the same no and secure with pins. Make sure there in the first place, that the tail tips of the two tail sections perfect match. Stitching together like the picture. Let the stitching is not completely against the edge of the opening start and end - so you can easily turn the tail.

Turn the tail with the right side out, iron if needed back smooth and fill firmly with stuffing.

Assembly : Place the front part of your body and position the arms you would like them to have. Turn on both fixed with a provisional stitching, close to the edge of the body portion. The flap open arms once to see if you are satisfied. If not, do the preliminary stitching loose back and reposition them.

Put the legs fixed with a provisional stitching. Protruding parts you cut away so you the curve of the bottom of the bodice continues to look good.

Place now the tail and secure with a provisional stitching. For a good result it is possible that very end of the tail (the narrow part on the side of the opening) will be invisible and thus cut will be just past the preliminary stitching (as you in the legs did). That was also the case with me.

Now comes the hardest work: the seat sew . Put the front body part (with the arms, legs and tail provisionally sewn) for you, with the rounded bottom to top. Place the bottom part here, right sides at the same no. Make sure that the center of the seat part corresponds to the center of the underside of the body part. Insert here your first badge. Pin Now furthermore, both the left and right of center. Follow as closely as possible the curve of the body part. Stitch the bottom part onto 1cm from the edge. Make sure the uiteindjes well attached to the bodice. Make a few notches in the curve of the seat to be better later times (I had on the last picture not yet done).

Put the rear body part for you, with the right side visible upwards. Put the proposal body part (including seat that you just have to have one side fixed put) on top, right sides together. Pin all around solid, starting at the transition between head and body and the ears (see photo). As already nicely match, the rest usually also beautiful. The pinning (and choke) is a little tricky when uiteindjes of the seat portion. It is important that no gap is between the two stitching coming together, for this you will see in the final result.

Topstitch around 1 cm from the edge. Leave the top of the head (between the ears) a keergat (your hand should still be able to). Go quietly to work on the seat. If it helps you, you can stop your stitching just above the top of the seat portion, near the beginning of the stitching of the seat which you participate in the anterior body part firmly set. Now you can rearrange the substance (the show itself or from what I mean if you're doing :)) and your resume stitching.

Times : hug you now ready to be finished, but first you have here and there some excess fabric flipping. To begin, create a small incision in the corner of the neck on both sides and you cut some fabric (note that you do not cut into your stitching!). If you do not frown the neck of your fox weird at times. On the ears and cheek dots cut you what each excess fabric (see photo).

Now turn your fox with the right side out through the keergat. The filling can begin!

Filling : I always pour a cup (uncooked :)) rice in the hug. Thus he remains tight. Then I fill further with stuffing. Close Sewing : if you find that your fox is sufficiently filled, sew the keergat closed with an invisible stitch bonding.

READY! I'm not sure if I have explained everything clearly. Should something not clear, you say it, then I read the description of ... Lots of fun! And you

foxes show huh ;) Oh, and someone had a fox instead prefer a raccoon make, please look here for an example . Only the felt pieces that adapt and Proske looks quite different: D
