Tutorial Tuesday:  Meet Sniffles

Spend an hour to make Sniffles and enjoy getting a giggle out of people
when they ask you for a Kleenex.

What you need

Outer Fabric (1/4 yard)
Lining Fabric (1/4 yard)
Fabric Scraps for facial features (eyes, nose, mouth)
Wonder Under fusible interfacing
Thread
Sewing Machine
Iron
Cutting Mat
Ruler
Rotary cutter
Scissors
Pins
Pocket Tissue
(Walmart has really funny ones right now - ours says "We find this humerus" with a picture of arm bone)

Step 1
Cut outer (fabric A) and lining (fabric B) fabrics to 6" x 7 1/2" using the rotary cutter, cutting mat, and ruler.   Using pattern pieces in the .pdf cut out facial features out of corresponding fabrics.   

Step 2
Following directions on the package, apply wonder under to wrong side of one of the nose pieces.  With wrong sides together fuse both nose pieces together. 


 
 Step 3
Apply wonder under to wrong side of the eyes, pupils and mouth pieces. 



Step 4
Fold fabric A lengthwise into thirds.  Position mouth and eye pieces as shown in photo, peel away backing for wonder under and fuse onto material.  Using your sewing machine, machine stitch the eyes, mouth and pupils for added security.






Step 5
Pin nose piece to fabric A right sides together and baste.  The nose piece will cover the eyes. With right sides together pin fabric
A and B.  Stitch around the edge leaving an opening for turning.  Clip excess nose fabric and corners and then turn and press.




Step 6
Turn right sides together (with face facing inward) and fold into thirds.  It will overlap slightly.  It is easier to for the nose to on the inside of the fold.

Step 7
Turn right sides out and reveal Sniffles! 
sew if the nose is tucked into the holder.  Stitch ends with a 1/4" seam allowance (we back-stitched here for added security).
