Pin the contrasting and the cotton fabric with wrong sides together.

Sew around with a 1/8 inch (3mm) seam allowance.

After the STEP 6. (sewing darts) fold the HEAD FRONT piece in half – right sides together.

Pin and sew the HEAD FRONT piece together from 11 to 1.

Now you can see a “hole” in the middle of the HEAD FRONT piece.

Pin the NOSE piece to the HEAD FRONT piece – with right sides together – matching the pattern markings (9., 10., 11.).

NOTE: Use lots of pins so the pieces don’t slip as you sew this seam.

Slowly sew around the edges along the line you drew.

NOTE: You can sew over the pins carefully, but I usually pull them out before I am about to go over them.

Using a sharp scissors, cut a hole open on the inside of the nose.

(the length of the hole about 1 inch = 2,5cm)

NOTE: Be careful!

Cut ONLY the cotton fabric of the nose piece (“inside” nose), not the contrasting fabric (“outside” nose).

“inside” nose

“outside” nose

With the help of a wooden skewer stuff the nose. I used a pencil 🙂

NOTE: The finished nose should be VERY VERY FIRM, VERY VERY HARD.

Hand-stitch the opening with slip stitch.
