Apologies but I didn't know which category this falls into, I'm banking on a moderator helping out with that....
Are there any toy making experts among you?! I'm attempting a Jo Carter pattern for a stuffed elephant, my aim is to make it into a doorstop. It's a free pattern from simply sewing magazine from aeons ago, my first try at anything along these lines. I've had a couple of head-scratching frustrating 'moments' already but figured them out and rectified them successfully.
Now I need to sew the back legs, each leg is just one piece; but I'm beginning to think there may be a pattern piece missing...let me explain.
The back legs are as fat as the front legs and all four legs have the same size of bottom foot to stitch onto them. The front legs consist of two pieces - inner and outer. The only pattern piece for the back leg is called inner back leg, methinks if it was just one piece it wouldn't have the magic word inner to describe it...?!
I've stitched up the front legs already and stitched the bottom foot onto them, this worked out nicely so I just know the back legs are not going to be big/fat enough.
I've searched online for any advice/youtube vids/anything but drawn a blank
Sorry for rambling, I hope this makes sense to somebody and maybe some of you have attempted a toy pattern before, perhaps this particular one. I don't want to abandon it but I feel that its main aim in my life is to make me cry
