(illus. d). Maintain a seam width of

16") throughout.

together along curve. Turn right side
out. Sew open edges together. Sew
each ear to edge of piece 1 from
seam number (SN) 1, over SN 4 to SN 2.
Clip edges of ears close to seam line at
SN 4 (do not cut through seam!).

Sew piece 2 between pieces 1, match-
ing SN 3 and 4. Sew muzzle 3 to front

Body front: Lay belly pieces 6 together
and stitch center seam (= from SN 7 to

each paw piece 12 to arm piece 11,
matching SN 10 and 11. Then stitch

Sewing body front to body back:
Make sure that attachment points

easing fabric edge of piece 10 be-
tween SN 21 and SN 11 and between
SN 11 and 10. Continue, closing side
seam from SN 19 over SN 17 to SN 15.
Sew seams on opposite side of body in
same manner. Sew each leg seam from
SN 12 to 13. Sew soles of feet 9 in
place, all around, matching SN 13 to
16.
Finishing: Turn head and body right
side out. Use back stitches to hand-sew
back of head to back, matching SN
