Supplies Needed:
(all of my patterns include 1/2″ seam allowance)
Step 1
sew the zipper to one fox head bottom piece
place the zipper face down on one fox head bottom piece and sew it along the edge. Then press the zipper away. It’s okay if the zipper is a little longer.
Step 2
repeat step 1 for the other side
Step 3
sew the fox face to the zipper piece
with right sides together, sew the fox face pieces to both sides of the zipper.
Step 4
fold over the seam allowance of the nose pieces and baste in place
you will need to cut off the excess fabric that sticks out from the edge of the nose.
Step 5
sew the nose to the fox face
place the nose in the center of the fox face and edge stitch it in place.
Step 6
fold the zipper pouch in half and sew
with right sides together, fold the pouch in half and sew. You can sew through the zipper and cut off the excess tail. Open the zipper before sewing.
Step 7
turn the pouch to the right side
clip the corners and curves and turn the pouch to the right side through the zipper
Finished!
