Sewing guide
-
- Print out the cushion template and cut around the dotted seam line. Glue the two halves together.
-
- Fold the material in half and draw around the template on the back of the fabric. Cut out the material.
-
- Cut around the inside sewing line of your template, then place it on the material and draw around it again.
-
- Mark a dot on the patterned side of each piece of material where you want the eye to be, and sew the buttons on.
-
- Mark on the material where the mane, forelock and tail will be, then pin both pieces of material together, pattern side in.
-
- Start sewing along the inside line in backstitch about 10cm up from the bottom of the hindleg, towards the cushion’s tail.
-
- For the tail, cut five strands of wool around 30cm long. Fold them in half, then place them between the two pieces of fabric.
-
- Carry on sewing to secure the tail in place, then continue around the rest of his body until you reach the mane.
-
- For the mane, repeat the same process as the tail. Finish sewing around the pony, stopping when you get to the bottom of the hindleg.
-
- Cut diagonally across the seams in the corners of the legs and ear to give you sharp corners. Don’t get too close to your stitching!
-
- Remove any pins and turn the fabric inside out, then begin stuffing. Use a knitting needle to poke stuffing into the ear, head and legs.
-
- Sew the gap up using a small, neat overstitch. There you have it – your very own pony cushion!
