think about design
Prepare the "3D drawing" that comes with the pattern.
We will write the design on the three-dimensional drawing.
If you draw not only the front view, but also diagonal and horizontal illustrations, it will be easier to imagine the finished product.
Handwriting is OK. The images have been edited using an app called Illustrator to make them easier to read.
Copy the design onto a pattern
Please print the downloaded data at the indicated print size (A4 or A3).
You can draw a 3D design on a flat surface by referring to the grid positions of the design drawn on the 3D drawing.
I will also take pictures of parts other than hair. We recommend printing two or three extra ``spare patterns'' for copying the parts.
pay attention to
Here are some ways to spot it
Cut out each part from the printed pattern
This method uses commercially available eye patches.
This method uses eyeball buttons sold for stuffed animals.
You can also use regular buttons instead.
Sheets that can be printed on cloth can now be purchased at 100 uniforms.
Print an illustration of the eyes created using a “drawing app” and paste it onto the fabric.
make hair
I will also show you some ways to make hair.
Cut out two pieces in the shape of the hair you made in "Arrangement 2" and sew around them with the center side*. Flip it over and your hair is done.
This method involves sandwiching a double-sided adhesive interlining between two pieces of fabric and pressing them together with an iron. After pasting, cut it into the desired shape.
This time, I will explain using "sewn cross" and "sewn cross boa".
The fabric often used for stuffed animals has the characteristic that the edges do not easily fray even when cut. This is a method that takes advantage of its characteristics and uses the fabric without cutting it.
time to put hair on
This is a method to sew together the face and back of the head (steps 5-9 of the basic edition) by sandwiching them together.
When the puppet is almost completed, use embroidery thread or craft glue to add the hair.
make clothes
The detailed process varies depending on the design of the garment, so I will only explain the general process.
Cut the fabric according to the shape drawn on the pattern.
Using the grid positions of the design drawn on the 3D drawing as a reference, we draw the 3D design onto a flat surface.
First, sew the clothing parts to outer material D (chest), outer material E (back), and outer material F (arms).
If there are any accessories that are difficult to attach later, attach them at this time.
Afterwards, sew the body, sew together the head, and attach the lining in the same way as from ``Basic Edition Step 6''. Finally, fill it with cotton and you're done.
