| FABRIC LAMB Pattern makes a 6 x 6-inch stuffed lamb. Use medium-weight cotton; place pattern pieces on the straight of the grain, indicated by arrows. A 1/4" seam allowance has been included. Cut out one pair each of body and underbody; two pair of ears; one head gusset. EARS-With right sides together, stitch ear front to ear back leaving botton open for turning. Trim tips, clip curves, turn and press. Fold raw edges inside, slip-stitch closed. UNDERBODY-With right sides together, pin both underbody pieces together. Stitch from top corners toward center about an inch, stopping at small circles. Leave open where indicated. LEGS-With right sides together, align one underbody piece with corresponding body piece and pin. Starting at one end of underbody, stitch around legs to the other end. Repeat for the remaining side. GUSSET-Place the narrow end of the gusset toward the nose; pin and stitch into place with right-sides together. Repeat for the other side. UPPER BODY- Align both upper body pieces; pin and stitch together where necessary so that only one opening remains on the underbody. Clip curves and turn right-side out. Stuff firmly, filling head, legs and tail first. NOTE: Legs will splay if not stuffed firmly enough at the top. Turn under seam allowances on belly and slip-stitch closed. FACE-use small buttons for eyes, or felt cut-outs if making a toy for small children. Take a few stitches with pink embroidery floss for nose. Tack ears into place as indicated on pattern. |

| FELT LAMB Lamb shown is made from wool felt. To adapt the pattern for felt, there is no seam allowance: cut out on the broken (stitch) lines. Use a blanket stitch or whip-stitch to sew the sections together. |
