Let's make a stuffed fox (jointed fabric doll)

Cut patterns guide you to print the sheet on A4 black-and-white and cut along the outerline, using color-coded pieces, notches, and gray lines to place and sew.

Cut notches to transfer marks from the pattern to fabric, guiding sewing and joining pieces; flip patterns as needed, using small scissors for precision.

Learn how to prep fabric A for a jointed fox doll, choose non elastic fabrics, mark patterns with correct orientation, and cut with proper margins and notches.

Cut fabric B using the ear pattern, mark inner-side patterns with at least 1 cm margin, notch and flip patterns, then cut the pieces.

Cut fabric C, align ear and arm patterns, mark notches and margins, flip patterns, and alternate vertical or horizontal placement to conserve fabric, then cut with a 0.5 cm seam.

Arrange the fabric pieces into groups for sewing, check symmetry and correct sides, then align arms, ears, legs, tail, body, and head with notches and pins.
