## Notes and tips
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When you're using fabric with some stretch in it, it is a good idea
|
||
|
|
to stabilize the seams that go along the whole body, and between
|
||
|
|
the body and the belly, with some stabilizing ribbon.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Body
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sew the darts on the front of the body closed. Trim away any excess fabric.
|
||
|
|
Sew the tail pieces to the body, matching the notches.
|
||
|
|
Sew the topFin pieces to the body.
|
||
|
|
Sew both parts together, leaving an area below the tail open for stuffing
|
||
|
|
the shark later.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Belly
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sew the two aboveMouth pieces together along the larger straight side.
|
||
|
|
Sew the teeth to the mouth, matching notches.
|
||
|
|
Sew the darts on the belly, trim away any excess fabric.
|
||
|
|
Sew the aboveMouth pieces to the mouth, matching notches.
|
||
|
|
Sew all of this to the belly piece, matching notches.
|
||
|
|
Sew the bottomFin pieces to the belly, matching notches.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Completing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sew the belly to the body, matching the front, back, and fins.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Filling
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fill the plush toy with stuffing through the opening you left
|
||
|
|
in the tail. Make sure to fill the tail and fins well before
|
||
|
|
adding too much stuffing in the body itself.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Close the toy by hand stitching.
