Step 3 – Make Ears for hood (Optional)
If you want to make the ears for the hood this is optional – but really cute! If you want to learn how to make the horns follow the tutorial here, For the bear and the cat ears: taking and exterior and interior ear piece, put right sides together and line up the bottoms of the pieces. The exterior is larger than the interior so your ear will have a nice outline. Line up the exterior edges of the piece and pin (this will cause the back to bubble). I like to use a lot of pins to get this right sew using a .25 inch (.75cm) seam.Turn right side out.For Bear ear: Sew top stitch seam on ear if desired. For Cat Ear: Turn each bottom corner into center of ear, pin and baste stitch down.
Step 4a – assemble the hood
Take the cuddle exterior back of the hood. Sew the two pieces together using a .5 inc h (1.25 cm) seam allowance. Repeat with the lining. ( I removed teh walking foot and used just a regular foot for this)
Step 4b – add the ears
Place the ears on the hood where you would like them to be ( close to the top looks best) pin then tack down in place using a .25 inch (.75 cm). Again using just a regular foot.
Step 4c – Sew the front pieces together.
Sew the front piece together at the top for the exterior and lining.
Step 4d – Sew the front pieces and the back pieces together
With right sides together, pin and sew together. Take extra care to line up the seams at the top. Take the two exterior pieces and sew together using a .5 inch seam allowance. This can be done with a walking foot to help with the bulk especially just over the ears. Repeat with the lining.
