GATHER AND ORGANIZE YOUR SUPPLIES
PRINT PATTERN and cut it out. www.dltk-teach.com/rhymes/paper_bag_mouse_puppet.htm
Make sure fabric is on grain and has a straight edge.
CUT OUT PATTERN PIECES (OUTSIDE OF PURSE)
YOU WILL NEED FOR CRITTER:
CUTTING TIPS:
Making sure you cut every piece exactly alike ensure better results with less mistakes. Cut out only 2 at a time ensures better results. In other words you don't want to layer several different fabrics together and cut a truck load. By doing it this way each piece will vary in size and shape.
