MAKING PAPER PATTERNS
On a photocopier, enlarge the patterns (overleaf) to 200%. Trace the patterns onto tracing paper, placing the face on folded tracing paper, matching the broken lines to the fold and making separate patterns for the ear, body, head, front leg, back leg, hoof, tail, and tummy. Mark the arrows, notches, crosses, dots and mouth. Cut out the patterns and open the face out flat.
CUTTING OUT
Cut the fur fabric with the pile laying in the direction of the arrows. For accuracy, cut the pieces singly. To avoid snipping the curls, cut through the backing fabric only of the curly fur fabric. Cut one pair of ears, heads, bodies, tail, and tummy from curly fur fabric. Cut one pair of ears, two pairs of front legs, two pairs of back legs and one face from ivory mini long pile minky style fabric. Cut four pairs of hooves from beige mini long pile minky style fabric. Snip the notches and mark the dots and crosses on the wrong side of the pieces with a pencil. This lovable fluffy friend with the brightest of accessories, inspired by our Woman’s Weekly archives
MAKING THE LLAMA
NOTE: Take a 6mm seam allowance. Pin seams before stitching with lots of pins because the layers of fur fabric are prone to move otherwise. Using a ballpoint needle on the sewing machine, join pieces with right sides together and edges level, matching notches and dots. After stitching use a pin to release any curly fur caught in the seam. Press the fabric face down on a towel with a cool iron to avoid flattening fur pile.
