How to Cut Out the Body For a Stuffed Animal

Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Karen for Expert Village. Let's cut our doggy out. Use a real nice sharp scissor. Sometimes it's easier to rough cut around and then get the details when it's on a smaller piece. If you've cut around it rough, now you can turn it around easily. Try to cut as close to the edge of the pattern and as evenly as possible all the way around. If you find you need more pins, if the pattern is sliding, you can put pins all the way around. If it makes it easier for you that's what you do; you put pins all the way around. Continue cutting. Don't let those pins get in the way. If you find that it's too hard to cut 2, you can always lay it out on a single fabric. Make sure if you lay it out on a single fabric that you...I'll show you...that you cut out. If you're going to lay it out singly instead of cutting it double, you want to cut...I'll show you here. Take all these pins out. If we lay this out singly, we want to one like this and then the other one the opposite. That way you'll get 2 of the same side fabric because you're going to put them together like this. So you'll have one like this and then one like that. This is a very important thing to remember because you don't want to end up with a right side and a wrong side on your doggy."
