Turnings of ^' (0-5 cm) are included in the patterns and no extra

SEWING
All sewing should be done on the wrong side of the fabric. The
only sewing done on the right side is when the opening for the
stuffing is sewn up with a ladder stitch, and when ears and tail are
attached.
To give the toy a professional finish, a domestic sewing machine is
by far the best method of sewing the seams. Machine stitches are
firm and do not give under pressure of stuffing. In the case where a
machine is not available, good results can be obtained by using a
firm backstitch.
