For pieces which are to be cut as mirror image pairs, turn pattern piece over before cutting second piece, see dashed lines in cutting layout. Note direction of pile = arrow. After tracing outlines of all pieces onto fabric, cut out fabric pieces, adding 5 mm ( 3 16") seam allowances.

Sewing: Lay pieces together, right sides facing, and sew together by machine (requires some sewing experi- ence when working with such small pieces) or by hand, using back stitches (illus. d). Maintain a seam width of 5 mm ( 3 16") throughout. Ears: For each ear, stitch two pieces 5 together along curve. Turn right side out. Sew open edges together. Sew each ear to edge of piece 1 from seam number (SN) 1, over SN 4 to SN 2. Clip edges of ears close to seam line at SN 4 (do not cut through seam!). Head: Stitch darts in pieces 1 and 4. Sew piece 2 between pieces 1, match- ing SN 3 and 4. Sew muzzle 3 to front of head (1+2+1), matching SN 656. Stitch pieces 1 together, from SN 7 to 6 and then close muzzle seam.

Begin at neck edge (= SN 21) and stitch arm seam to SN 19, easing fabric edge of piece 10 be- tween SN 21 and SN 11 and between SN 11 and 10. Continue, closing side seam from SN 19 over SN 17 to SN 15. Sew seams on opposite side of body in same manner. Sew each leg seam from SN 12 to 13. Sew soles of feet 9 in place, all around, matching SN 13 to 16. Finishing: Turn head and body right side out. Use back stitches to hand-sew back of head to back, matching SN 88.
