Are you looking for a small sewing project? The cuddly monster "Eye see you" can also be sewn by untrained people. Ideal as a gift or for your own small monster collection.
And it's that easy:
Cut to size Select a monster model and cut all the parts for it. The easiest way to do this is to lay the fabric with the two right sides on top of each other, pin it with Needles , place the pattern piece on top and use a trick marker to draw the outline. Leave the Pins stuck in the fabric so that the fabric layers cannot move when sewing. If your pattern pieces already have a seam allowance, cut out your pieces on the line. If this is not included in the pattern, simply cut about 8 mm next to the line. (This is approximately the width of the foot of a standard sewing machine)
Preparations / Sewing If, for example, you want to apply another fabric to the body to emphasize an area of the face or belly in a different color, you must do this before sewing the cut pieces together. We recommend the use of iron-on fleece for this. This is applied to the piece of fabric to be appliquéd according to the instructions, ironed onto Fabric cut in the desired place and sewn on along the edge of the fabric with a zigzag stitch. Stitch all cut pieces, such as arms, legs, ears or wings first on the right side with a straight stitch. Make sure that you do not sew on the turning openings marked on the pattern pieces. Then we recommend that you cut the seam allowance in the area of all curves at a distance of approx. 1 cm with scissors so that the fabric lies better after turning and does not compress. Now turn these pieces through the remaining opening and stuff them with filling cotton wool, as desired. Place the arms, ears or even wings on the right side of a body section so that they sit in the position you want. Put the counterpart of the body section on (right side down) and plug everything together with Needles As a turning opening for the body, we recommend the lower area where you will later also insert the legs. Do not sew up this area yet. If you have topstitched the body with a straight stitch, then here too, snap in all the curves of the body at a distance of approx. 1 cm with the scissors. Then turn the body through the turning opening. Now you can put your desired face on the body and iron it on according to the instructions to fix it on it. Alternatively, you can also use Textile glue for this. Then stuff the body with cotton wool. Place the upper ends of the stuffed legs in the reversible opening, secure the opening with a few Pins to prevent it from moving when the legs are subsequently sewn together and topstitch the area in one go. Your DIY cuddly monster is ready!
