How to Cut Out the Bottom & Ears For a Stuffed Animal

Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Karen for Expert Village. Now let's cut our single piece. Just pin it down. This is our bottom leg section. We only need to cut one of these. It's this piece right here. We only need to cut one of those and cut that out as close as possible. I like to make the easy cuts first and then I'll do the more detailed cuts here when my piece of fabric goes smaller and I can hold it in my hand. Like I said, if you need a few more pins to hold that in place put in as many pins as you want. You could also try if it's difficult to cut while holding the pattern, you can try using a marking pencil. Although the marking pencils don't mark so easily on this fuzzy fabric. If you experiment, you might find a marking pencil that works. Let's cut the ears. I'm going to fold it in half because I'm going to need 4 ears. I'm going to cut one set here. I folded it in half putting the wrong sides together so that I end up with 2 right sides. Let me do that again. Fold it in half, put my ear pattern down, pin it, and then cut around as closely as possible to the edge. Trim the end. Now, all our pieces are cut. We've cut one bottom. We cut 4 pieces of ears and we have 2 doggy bodies."
