Here are the patterns you are going to need.
Just double click on the enlarged thumbnail and a full sized pattern
will appear for both big woop and the eye templates/instructions. It is meant to be printed on an 81/2 x 11 Sheet
of paper. Cut out the pattern pieces and trace them on your
material adding a seam allowance of either 1/8 inch or 1/4 inch
depending on the type of material you intend to use. I did not
include the seam allowance in the pattern for the bunny or the eyes
because I thought everyone would choose a different material to use
and depending on how much yours may fray may determine how much seam
allowance you may want for your individual "creation." I used
felt for mine so I added an 1/8 of an inch seam allowance as you can
see in the pattern I cut out below. Next, I placed my pattern
on the folded piece of felt and traced around it. Then I cut
out all of my pattern pieces. Using the eye template and
directions, cut out your eyes and arrange the pieces. You can
use glue as I mentioned in these directions or sew them on as I did
with my bunny. If you sew them on, I recommend you do it
before you sew the front and back of the bunny together. I did
that by laying out all of my pattern pieces like you see below.
You can either "eyeball" (hee. hee.) the position of your eyes or
you can fold the pattern piece for the front of your bunny in half
to find the middle and then position your eyes. Next, sew your
eyes on using your machine. Then, pin the back and the front
of your bunny (wrong sides together) and sew around the outside
leaving the bottom open for stuffing. Now clip your seams,
turn your bunny and stuff him. When you get down to the feet,
you can use a pipe cleaner and wire the feet like I did so he can
stand. This is pretty simple. Just fold the pipe cleaner
in half and make sure it reaches from one side of your bunnies feet
to the other and then stuff around the pipe cleaner firmly.
Finally, just whipstitch or ladder stitch your bunny closed at the
bottom.
Big woop, you just finished
your bunny!

If you want to see larger pictures just double
click any of these thumbnails to enlarge them. Have fun making
your own sock critters and if you do happen to make one, I'd love to
see a pic. Just send me one at hey_lisa@qdpatooties.com and I will post it in my Blog along with your
name and website/or Blog address! On a side note, I made my Big Woop
from a National Nonwovens felt called "Island Storm" (WCF005-6580).
*Just a note, please respect my creativity here
and make these for your personal use and not to sell. I don't
want to be browsing Etsy one day and see a shop full of bunnies!
