When cutting the inside ear pieces, note the shape of the edge that attaches to the head. SEWING Tail: Cut 2 pieces, each measuring 4cm x 9cm, from plaid fabric and fuse them together, wrong sides facing, with double-sided interfacing. Cut donkey’s tail from the piece without adding seam allowances. Neaten edges of tail with narrow zigzag or with decorative stitch resem- bling blanket stitch and machine-baste it to donkey’s back panel as marked on pattern. Torso: Stitch back and stomach pieces together, right sides facing; make sure to align notches. Turn torso right side out and stuff it firm with wadding.

Topstitch edges of ears with narrow zigzag or with deco- rative stitch resembling blanket stitch. Machine- baste ears to head side panels as marked on pattern. Stitch head center and side panels together. Turn head right side out and stuff it firm with wadding. Fold seam allowance at bottom edge of neck under, pin neck to torso and sew it securely in place by hand; add wadding if necessary before closing opening. Legs: Stitch floral and plaid leg pieces together in pairs, right sides facing, and leave small openings for turning legs right side out. Trim seam allowances and turn legs right side out. Stuff legs with wadding and close openings by hand-stitching. Pin front legs in place as marked on pattern. Stitch front legs together through torso using long needle and attach buttons at the same time. Attach hind legs in the same way.
