## Main and Contrast Body Fabrics (Upper body, belly and mouth)
|
||||
|
||||
This plush toy is intended to have two different coloured fabrics, one for
|
||||
the upper body, and one for the belly. The mouth should probably have its
|
||||
own colour fabric. Most plush toys have some sort of a faux fur fabric.
|
||||
This plush toy is intended to have three different coloured fabrics, one for the upper body, one for the belly, and a smaller piece for the mouth. If you don't wish to purchase additional fabric just for the mouth, it's a small enough piece that you can likely use a scrap from the upper body or belly fabric.
|
||||
|
||||
Fabrics with a two-way stretch work better than wovens. The stretch should
|
||||
be perpendicular to the grainline.
|
||||
Hi is designed for faux fur fabric, which most plush toys are made from, but you could also use polar fleece, felt, denim, corduroy, or anything moderately heavy. Lightweight or drapey fabrics may not hold Hi's shape well when stuffed. Fabrics with a two-way stretch will work better than wovens, the stretch should be perpendicular to the grainline.
|
||||
|
||||
## Teeth
|
||||
## Teeth Fabric
|
||||
|
||||
The teeth have untreated ends, so should be made from a fabric that does
|
||||
not unravel.
|
||||
The teeth edges are left raw, so should be made from a fabric that does not unravel such as felt.
|
||||
|
||||
## Stuffing
|
||||
|
||||
Since this is a pluch toy, it wil need to be stuffed with material.
|
||||
Since this is a plush toy, it will need to be stuffed with material. Most of the time you'll want to use polyester fiberfill (polyfill), but if you have a lot of fabric scraps, you can use shredded scrap fabric. However this may be heavier and less soft than fiberfill. It's also worth thinking about whether your Hi may be at risk of getting dirty, or want to go for a swim, as not all stuffing options are washable.

## Notes and tips
|
||||
<Tip>
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
</Tip>

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.
|
||||
## Step 1: The Upper body
|
||||
|
||||
### Belly
|
||||
- Sew the darts on the front of the bodys closed. Trim away any excess fabric.
|
||||
- With *good sides together* sew the tail pieces to the bodys, matching notches.
|
||||
- With *good sides together* sew the topFin pieces to the bodys.
|
||||
- With *good sides together* sew the bodys together along the front, top, around the tail and below the tail, leaving a gap open below the tail for turning and stuffing the shark later.

||||
|
||||

|
||||
Sew the teeth to the mouth, matching notches.
|
||||

|
||||

||||

||||

||||
- With *good sides together* sew the aboveMouth pieces to the mouth, matching notches, being careful not to catch the teeth in the seam allowances.

|
||||

||||
|
||||
### Filling
|
||||
- With *good sides together* sew the belly to the body, matching the front, back, and fins.
|
||||
- Turn though the gap left below the tail.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
## Step 4: Stuffing

||||
- Fill the plush toy with stuffing through the opening you left below the tail, making sure to fill the tail and fins well before adding too much stuffing in the body itself.

||||

||||

||||

To make Hi, you will need the following:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Basic sewing supplies](/docs/sewing/basic-sewing-supplies)
|
||||
- About 1 meters of a suitable fabric in color 1 (body)
|
||||
- About 0.5 meters of a suitable fabric in color 2 (belly)
|
||||
- About 1 meter (1.1 yards) of a suitable fabric (Upper body) ([see Hi Fabric options](/docs/patterns/hi/fabric/))
|
||||
- About 0.5 meters (0.6 yards) of a suitable fabric (Belly) ([see Hi Fabric options](/docs/patterns/hi/fabric/))
|
||||
- Small piece for the mouth
|
||||
- Suitable, unraveling, fabric for the teeth
|
||||
- Stuffing
|
||||
|
||||
<Note>
|
||||
|
||||
This list is based on a default Hi and you may need less or more fabric dependant on the [size you are making Hi](/docs/patterns/hi/options/size/).
|
||||
|
||||
For instance a 500% Hi will need 5 meters (1 meter x 500% = 5 meters) and a 50% Hi will need 0.5 meters (1 meter x 50% = 0.5 meters).
