Christmas Gnome Dolls Cut and Sew Panel

Who likes Christmas gnomes? Quite a few people, right?
For those who enjoy sewing gnome dolls, Lillestoff now offers my gnome dolls as Cut and Sew panels. And this is the instruction for sewing them.

Materialliste :

• 1 Wichtel Cut and Sew Panel (link provided when panels are published). I prefer using jersey for this, but you have to be careful when filling it so the pieces don’t bulge.
• Sewing thread
• Filling

Sewing the gnomes :

Cut out the pieces for the doll along the colored outer edge and sew the pieces for the arms and legs, right sides facing.

Cut in the seam allowance at the curves so that the seam lies better in the curve after reversing.

Turn the parts over and stuff them with filling cotton. Leave approx. 2 cm of space at the opening to sew the parts to the body and so that the doll’s arms and legs can still be moved afterwards.

Sew the back dividing seam and leave a turning opening of approx. 17 cm open.

Pin the arms and legs to the front of the top, right sides facing. To ensure that they do not move when sewing the upper body together, you can topstitch the arms and legs in place.

Fold the arms and legs inwards and pin the upper body together, right sides facing. You can also pull the arms or legs slightly through the opening on the back to make sewing easier and sew along the seam lines.

Turn the doll over and stuff the upper body with filling cotton. You can then close the opening on the back with hand stitches.
And just like that, your gnome collection has grown by one or two of these funny little fellows!

Have fun sewing!
