--- title: "Tiburón Hi: Instrucciones de costura" --- Cuando estés usando tela algo elástica, es una buena idea estabilizar las costuras que van a lo largo del cuerpo y entre el cuerpo y la barriga con algún tipo de cinta estabilizante. ## Paso 1: Parte superior del cuerpo - Cut pieces of black fabric the size of the eyes on the body pieces. - Con *los lados buenos juntos* cose las piezas de la cola a las del cuerpo, haciendo coincidir las marcas. - With white thread, either by hand or machine _bar tack_ the pupils onto the eyes like eyelets. If stitching the pupil by machine you may find it easier to use either the eyelet function or a buttonholer that does eyelets if one of those are available to you. If not you may find it best to hand stitch the pupil for better control and neatness. - With orange thread, _bar tack_ around the edge of the eyes. - If the fabric you are using frays, fray check the edges. The colour choice are up to you but these are the recommended colours. If you wish to make an embroidered eye we recommended to make it an embroidery patch rather than embroidering directly on the fabric itself as screwing up will not result in a larger quantity of fabric being wasted. ## Paso 2: La barriga - Using topstiching thread (thick thread), go back and forth several times along the gill lines of the body pieces. - _Edgestitch_ the eyes to the bodys, matching the thread colour of the outer bar tacks. - Cierra las pinzas de la parte delantera del cuerpo. Corta el cualquier exceso de tela que quede. - 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. ## Step 3: Final Assembly - With _good sides together_ sew the two aboveMouth pieces together along the larger straight edge. - Cose las piezas de los dientes a la boca, de forma que coincidan las marcas del patrón, y asegurándote de que los dientes apuntan hacia el centro de la boca. Estas piezas se tratarán como una a partir de ahora. - Cose las pinzas en la barriga, corta cualquier exceso de tela resultante. - With _good sides together_ sew the aboveMouth pieces to the mouth, matching notches, being careful not to catch the teeth in the seam allowances. - With _good sides together_ sew the joined mouth and aboveMouth to the belly piece, matching notches. - With _good sides together_ sew the bottomFin pieces to the belly, matching notches. ## Step 4: Stuffing - With _good sides together_ sew the belly to the body, matching the front, back, and fins. - Dale la vuelta al proyecto a través del agujero que hemos dejado en la cola anteriormente. ## Step 5: Enjoy! - Rellena el peluche con material de relleno a través de la apertura que has dejado en la cola, asegurándote que rellenas bien la cola y las aletas antes de añadir demasiado relleno en la parte del cuerpo. - _Slipsticth_ or _whipstitch_ the opening closed. ## Step 6: Enjoy! ¡Eso es todo! ¡Ahora puedes irte de aventuras por los océanos con tu nuevo Hi!
