DIY goat: patterns
If you decide to sew a soft toy, pillow, souvenir in the form of an animal, you will need a template. You can take it ready or build parts yourself. If you have chosen the sample you like, simply print it on the printer in the required scale. Even if the image is not of very good quality, you can still draw contours. Another way is to attach glass to the monitor and transfer the patterns to a film glued to it.
DIY goat can be made in different ways. There are simple and complex options. If you are not too experienced in this matter, take a pattern with fewer details.
The diagram usually has a legend. Dotted lines indicate the locations of bends or attachments of other elements. In complex multi-part templates, they can be indicated by colored dots at the junction of parts. If you need to make two identical parts, it is better to do them in one step on a fabric folded in half.
Animal souvenirs
