Back to the TopWhy not fold the felt in half and cut the 2 fronts and 2 backs each in one piece?
Absolutely! Saves time, and it will be matched on both sides.
Thank you!
Hello –
I was making this for my nephew, who is turning 6. Do you suggest sticking with the pattern sizing? I have teens now, so my concept on size and age are very off. He is an average sized 6 year old and I know the pattern allows for some room/growth. Just curious.
This should work for a 6-year-old. The child in the photo is about 8, so it will give him room to grow into it.
