*Main fabric for the hat and bodysuit - Approx 16cms x 30cms. Choose from fabric such as felt, soft plush, velvet or wool. A fabric with some body will work best rather than a thin cotton.

5x 20cms strip of felt or soft plush for the hat trim
A small scrap of fabric of your choice for a decorative heart. And optional ribbon scrap for scarf.
Toy stuffing such as hypoallergenic filler.
Machine thread, extra strong sewing thread - eg gutermann upholstery thread and a some embroidery thread - your choice of colour for decoration. Plus red for the mouth.
Black fabric paint for eyes - or black embroidery thread if you plan to stitch eyes
Doll blush for cheeks
Equipment:
Fabric marking pen - I like to use a pilot frixion heat removable pen
Sewing machine
A strong drinking straw (eg an eco metal straw) and a chopstick for turning out tiny limbs.
Have fun sewing the sweetest little elves!

A little challenging for a beginner sewer. I think it would be awesome if there was a video tutorial included. I’d pay a little extra just for that. I also think fabric matters. The fabric I chose was thick which made elements of this more challenging but the pattern and instructions were very well done. I’m very happy with this purchase.
