This is how the fish are sewn:
Transfer the patterns for each fish twice onto the fabric: transfer the first pattern as printed, the second must always be transferred mirror-inverted. Now draw a seam allowance of 1 cm on all parts. Then cut everything out.
Always sew two matching pieces of fabric together to create a fish. Press the seam allowance open. Then sew on the button eyes by hand.
Two fish can now be sewn together. To do this, place two identical fish right sides together and secure the position of the fabric layers with pins. Sew the layers of fabric together along the seam allowance except for a small turning opening. Cut small triangles into the seam allowance at the curves and corners. This will make it easier to turn and shape the sewn-together fish.
After turning, iron all the curves and corners into shape. Fill the fish with wadding and sew the turning opening together close to the edge by hand or with the sewing machine.
Now stitch the hanging eyelets into the top centre of the seam. Pull the jute cord through.
