before starting the project. This
softie is not suitable for children under
three years as it includes small parts
that could work lose and become a
choking hazard. A seam allowance of
3mm (^1 ⁄ 8 in) is used throughout and is
included in the patterns. Use a shorter
than usual stitch length for softie
construction for strong, smooth
seams. Instructions are given for using
the printed Pattern Sheet in the
magazine, but as an alternative, you
can download the digital patterns
from http://www.homespun.com.au and
