11 Cut out four pieces of fabric for the legs each 5½in × 4½in (14cm × 11.4cm). Trace four leg shapes on to freezer paper (two reversed). Cut them out and iron on to the back of the 5½in × 4½in pieces. Cut them out with ¼in (6mm) seam allowance. Pair them, right sides together, so you have a left pair and a right pair. Leave one freezer paper shape on each pair. Trace four shoe shapes on to freezer paper. Cut out and pin the shapes on to the felt. Cut out each shape with a ¼in (6mm) seam allowance.

12 To make each leg sandwich the legs and shoes together in the following order:

a Leg without freezer paper facing up.

b Two felt shoes.

c Leg with freezer paper facing up.

Pin the sandwich together. Machine round sewing right up to the paper, leaving the top open. Snip into the seam allowance round the curves. Turn inside out and stuff with toy stuffing. Add some ribbon, folding in the raw edges and sew in place with a button. Put aside for the moment.
