When cutting additional pieces without patterns and when cutting facial features, do not add seam allowances. 5. To assemble, pin pieces together with right sides facing and raw edges even; stitch on marked lines, making 1/4" seams. 6. Clip into seam allowance at curves and trim corners; turn piece to right side. 7. Referring to picture, assemble pieces and trim as directed. Covering Paint Pail: Measure circumference of pail at lip and add 1"; measure height of pail and add amount specified. Use these measurements to cut a rectangle of felt or fabric. Place bottom of pail on matching fabric and trace around with a pencil. Unless otherwise directed, cut out circle 1/8" inside traced lines and set aside. By hand, baste 1/4" from one long edge of fabric rectangle to gather. Turn pail upside down so that bottom of pail is now shoulders of toy. Place fabric, right side out, around pail, having gathering stitches 1/4" above shoulders unless otherwise directed. Lap ends of fabric to fit, turning under raw edge if woven, and glue in place. Turn fabric at bottom over lip of pail to inside and glue, unless otherwise directed. Pull up gathering to fit at top; adjust gathers evenly and secure thread. Glue edge to top of pail; glue circle to shoulders, covering stitching. Neck: For Yellow Angel, Elf, and Lion: Cut a strip of stiff cardboard 1" x 12". Lap ends of strip 1" and glue together, forming a ring. Cut fabric 1" x 12" and glue to outside of ring. Trim as directed and glue ring to center of shoulders. Head: Cut an 8 1/2" tubular piece of nylon stocking. Gather one end 1/4" from edge; pull closed, then turn right side out and stuff until head measures about 17" around. Gather remaining end of stocking tightly. For nose, cut a 1" circle of nylon unless otherwise directed; gather 1/8" from edge. Pull up stitches and insert stuffing to make a ball about 1/2" across; secure thread; stitch gathered side of nose to center of face. Glue black pompons slightly above and to each side of nose for eyes, unless otherwise directed. "Rouge" cheeks with crayon. Complete face as individually directed. Hair: Cover scalp with loops of yarn, making loops of directed length and referring to picture for guidance on shaping hairline. Hands: Unless otherwise directed, cut two 3 1/2" circles of nylon; gather edges and stuff as for nose, making them about 2" across. Having gathered area at one end, flatten into a circle and secure thread. For fingers, make four equally spaced stitches around opposite end of hand, working over edge and pulling thread tightly to indent hand. Glue gathered end of hands inside prepared sleeves.

Glue lace around top edge of neck; glue neck to body. Glue lace around shoulder edge and lower edge, lapping ends of trim in back. Glue buttons to front, placing them 1/4" apart. Sleeves: Cut 9" circle yellow felt; cut circle in half. Roll each piece into a cone about 2" wide; glue edges to secure. Glue lace around open wrist edge; make hands and glue inside sleeves.
