Signing UpStep 1Getting started: cut your pattern out.
First we'll work on the stuffed donkey. I used a paper with 1" squares to draw the pattern, if you'd like your donkey bigger or smaller, adjust the squares accordingly.
Tip, you can print out the images posted here large enough on your printer and cut them off from that.
After you have the pattern cut out, place it over your fabric and trace around so that you can cut out the pices.
Check on the pictures how many of each you'll need in which fabrics. (The great thing is that fleece/felt don't really have a right and reverse side, so you don't have to worry about that.)
