Make a soft toy EVE from the film WALL-E

Step 6 Make the arms

Repeat the first 4 steps of the project, but this time making the arms. Draw them following the templates provided, or ink jet print them out using the templates on dadcando. Obviously make two arm shapes.

Draw on the fingers and the button hole making sure that you measure it against the button you sewed on to the body earlier.

The outline of the image shown is the sewing line, and the arms should be trimmed back to about 5mm from this, just like the body and then turned right side out. The outline with dotted rule is for the stiff interlining. For this you should cut out the lining exactly to this size.

The interlining can be a piece of light weight white card if you want, although it will not stand up to chewing or washing. Alternatively use the proper dress makers lining fabric.

If you cut the interlining stiffener out accurately , you should be able to wiggle it in through the seam gap you have left. Once it is in, smooth out the material to make sure the seam is straight. Then stuff the arms with only a little stuffing on the top side only. The result should be that one side of the arms is relatively flat and the other has got a gentle curve.
