Start with your cut palm pattern, do not separate the fingers yet, it will be easier to tack everything down and create the appliqué decoration. There is a detailed step-by-step explanation of the appliqué process in this tutorial: If there is anything smaller than your pattern, you might still be ok! You will need to pay special attention to sewing that area since the seam allowance will be narrower. If you have pieces that are larger than your pattern be sure to trim them off so it matches. If this is your first time cutting out a sewing pattern, to easily make sure you did it correctly, match it back up with your pattern! This is especially useful if you have decided to sew in color breaks or markings to this pattern. Cut out your fabric exactly on or just inside the line. Using a razor blade makes it very easy to cut out your pattern from the backing without cutting the fur’s pile. It is very important to be sure to use something that will not bleed or stain the fur when tracing out your patterns. Trace your pattern onto the backing of the faux fur, paying special attention to the direction the fur is going. Tip: If you wish to make the pattern arm-length, measure your arm with a string or a measuring tape and make the pattern taper, based on that measurement, to accommodate your forearm or upper arm if you go that high!

You can make it longer or shorter depending on the amount of fur you have. I recommend at least to mid-forearm so there is enough coverage to tuck into a sleeve. Tape it in place.ĭecide how long you want your paw to extend up your arm. Take the extra piece of paper and fold it over so it is as wide as the wrist. Also cut out and remove the paw pad shapes, having them as a hole in the pattern will make it easier to trace them. Use a razor knife or scissors to cut the pattern out from the paper. Same with the space where your hand fits into the wrist.

You want enough room for the pattern to wrap up the side of your fingers to create the 3-dimensional shape (2 fingers-width is a very good analogue for this).
