Instructions
Step 1: Print and use this pattern and follow the directions below.
Step 2:
Cut 2 circles 10″(25.5 cm) Diameter
Cut 1 Circle 7.5″ (19cm) Diameter
Cut 20 petal shapes out of contrasting colors 2″ (5cm) wide and 3″ (7.5cm) at the widest part.
Cut 1 nose and mouth in red felt.
Cut 2 legs 14″ (35.5 cm) long including shoes and 3″ (7.5 cm) long if you want to have contrasting shoe colors as shown.
Step 3:
Stitch the legs (seams down the front) turn inside out and fill with toy wadding.
Step 4:
Sew all the petal pieces together and turn inside out.
Step 5:
Make a hang up strap approx 8″ long (20 cm) and 1.5″(3.5 cm) wide. Fold in half width ways and sew together (this will make it strong).
Step 6:
Sew each petal facing inwards onto one of the 10″ circles. Place your legs facing inwards in the same way at the bottom. And sew the hangup on top.
Step 7:
Now sew the second 10″ circle on top and leave an opening at the top. Turn inside out and fill slightly with wadding and sew up the opening.
Step 8:
Sew the 71/2″ circle onto the front to form the face. Place your nose and mouth into position and sew into place.
Step 9:
Make your eyes lashes with black embroidery thread and use yellow for optional shoe laces.
All done!
This adorable and I am thinking for a Daisy Girl Scout troop! But what about using the fingers from mismatched/lost winter gloves for the petals!!
