The eye cut out is what is throwing me off. I am not sure where to add the seam allowance.
Head shot
Here is the pattern piece, the original and one with added seam allowance. What is confusing me is what do I do around the eye area.
Thank you Sue Ann,
It does make sense. What is throwing me off is the eye hole is like a piece cut out of the face beside the nose. I have never seen an odd shaped cut on a seam attached to the gusset. Have you made a bear where. The face is multiple colors?
Thanks~Sam
Hello! I am new to the forum and to making teddy bears. I have purchased a pattern for those with some expertise. I don’t think I have enough, so hopefully I will not embarrass myself with a silly question. The pattern states it is given “1:1 and does not include seam allowance.” A 5mm seam allowance is recommended. Does that mean to add 5mm to each seam or does that mean to sew in 5mm from the raw edge. The pattern is for a Panda and calls for an eye cut out. I can’t figure out how to add the seam allowance for this part as it makes the eye hole smaller. It also changes the depth of notches throughout the pattern. Any suggestions would be most appreciated!
