How to sew a monster
Download the pattern, cut out every part.
Pin the parts on the pattern on the fabric, cut it out.
Remove the pattern and pin the loose parts together.
You can already see How your finished monster will look.
Now we first stitch the little parts together. Sew parts of the same colour first, otherwise you have to change yarn colours all the time.
Stitch arms and legs, leave 1 side open.
Stitch the horns together in the same way.
Fill the horns with fiberfill.
Fill arms and legs too.
Pin all onto the body.
Pin the body parts together.
Fold arms, legs, horns in.
Stitch with a firm stitch using a double thread the body closed all around except for the underside. This way the horns and arms will be attached and closed too at the same time. The legs will still be loose.
Fill the monster's body with fiberfill.
Use a chopstick to fill the corners.
Pin the underside ½cm to the inside.
Remove the legs, fold the open undersides neatly in. Pin the legs on again, on the upper or underside body makes no difference. Now pin the fill opening closed and sew it closed with neat little stiches, attaching the legs at the same time.
Cut a cute monster face after your own idea.
At ours Monster is sitting cozily on the bookshelf.
That is ... until a tiny-mini-monster passes by!
