Step 3Join the seamster's union
This stuff is old news, there are so many sewing instructables on this site that I won't go into too much detail.
I pinned the pattern to the blanket fabric (folded over twice). Cut it out and sew it.
I sewed the pattern right onto the fabric because it just seemed easier that way. Also, if you switch to a smaller stitch size as your going around tight curves, the machine goes nice and slow and gives you time to manipulate the fabric around the curve.
Remember to leave an opening for stuffing. Try to put the opening near the bottom of the figure instead of on top, that way it's less noticeable.
Note: Don't bother with the crazy darts. Just trim the margin of fabric down close to the seam (1/8" or so) after you've sewn it instead, it turns out better that way when you go to turn it inside out.
