How do I measure the fabric?

Follow the pattern instructions for the amount of fabric needed. Measure carefully before cutting.

Can I alter the pattern?

Yes, you can adapt the pattern to fit your needs, but make sure to adjust the fabric accordingly.

How do I care for the finished toy?

Spot clean the toys with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing unless the toy's materials allow it.
