Cut and Sew Question

Just sew around, leaving the part open at the bottom. This is to turn right side out, stuff and hand sew shut. The 'V' marks are to cut out the Vs to make it easier to turn and lay nicer. I use to make these sorts of things when my girls were young. The stitches are to make him look like a patchwork cat. You don't do anything with those stitch marks.

I would like to suggest a layer of thin batting to the panel befor sewing. A much stronger puffy doll is the outcome. And you should do any decorative stitching before sewing together.

Ok it is finally finished and I made another one as well! Need to work on my blind stitch, but I still think they turned out cute! I decided to try interfacing on the cat with the blue overalls. I used Pellon sf101. Worked pretty well; you just have to make sure you can still see through for the lines you are supposed to follow when sewing! Made it easier to sew shut at the end as well.
