The raw edge of the ears should be touching the top raw edge of the face. Pin the ears to the face, on the insides of the large dart seams.

Lay the face piece down with the right side up. Poke a finger into the ear to shape it and smooth out the curves.įill the ears with a bit of polyfil, not too much, you still want them to be somewhat flat. Stack the front and back ear pieces together with right sides touching, and sew around the curve, leaving the bottom flat edge open. Now the face is complete and you can set it aside. You can pink or notch the edges if you wish. Next you will sew together the two small darts on the bottom of the face. Repeat this step with the other large dart, then open the face to see how it looks. ( The outside edges won’t perfectly align, that’s okay, it will help you line up the ears better later.) Align the edges of one dart with right sides together, then sew down the edge. Next, you will sew together the two large darts on the top of the face. To assemble the face, fold the fabric piece in half on the fold or seam you cut it on, and then sew along the edge of the triangle gap on the bottom. Then open it up to see how it looks and you can set it aside for now. Then, carefully cut notches or pink the edge to remove the bulk. Sew down the right edge (it should be the more straight side of the piece) as in the image below. Place both “Back of Head” pieces on top of each other with the right sides together. Assemble The Headįirst assemble the back of the head. Wherever the pattern says to “cut 2 opposites”, cut two pieces, but with the fabric flipped over for one of the cuts. When you cut out the pattern, it will have a triangle gap in the middle bottom area like in the image below. When you place the pattern on the fold, the line will curve away from the fold.

When you cut the “face” piece, you will notice that at the bottom under the nose, the edge curves. If you prefer a more scrappy look like the bear I made, you can sew two pieces together and use the seam as the fold. Use the patterns to cut out the fabric, noting where the pattern says to place on the fold. Cut Out The Pattern PiecesĬut out your paper patterns on the solid black lines.
