How to make the felt toy Bambi Deer – Sewing instructions

All seams are glove stitched on the right side unless otherwise stated.

Using two strands of fawn cotton, join one white and one fawn tail together. Join each white ear to each fawn ear. Join head gusset to head, matching C to D on both seams, at the same time folding each ear in half (white inside) and inserting into the seam as marked on the pattern. Join seam from C over the nose to A. Join back from D down to tail, fold tail in half (white inside) insert, and stitch into the seam, allowing the tail to stand upright, continue stitching to B.

Join the underbody to main body from A down each front leg to E.

Join underbody to main body from B down each back leg to F. At this stage it is advisable to stuff the top of the the head firmly. Fold the 14″ wire in half and twist to strengthen. Insert into the neck and head. Stuff the head and neck firmly.

Join each inside front leg, from I to J, and each inside back leg from G to H. Stitch a felt sole into each foot. Pack a little stuffing into each leg, pressing it well down into the feet. Wire each pair of legs as per General Instructions, and finish stuffing the legs. Join one underbody seam from J to H. Complete the stuffing and join the last seam J to H.

Sew in eyes (see General Instructions) and embroider eyelashes and nose. See photograph.

Glue small spots of contrasting felt to butterfly wings, fold and stitch to top of Bambi’s tail.
