3 Make a buddy as follows. Using tracing paper, draw around the pattern on page 103 and mark the face details. Cut out the pattern piece. Place the two pieces of felt together and pin the pattern on top. Cut the felt around the pattern and then remove the pins.
4 Place the pattern on to one felt piece and use four strands of black stranded cotton to sew the face details through the tracing paper. Sew on the button for a nose and then remove the pattern by carefully tearing around the stitches and button.
5 Place the embroidered patch on to the front piece of felt, centrally, with the top edge in line with the top of the arms. Pin and tack (baste) in place and then sew around all four sides.

Using a 6mm (¼in) seam, stitch around the edge of the felt pieces, leaving a 5cm (2in) gap along the straight edge at one side. Remove tacking and stuff the buddy, pushing the stuffing into the arms
