This sewing craft paper pattern includes not one, but two different sizes of whales! The large size whale makes a charming accent cushion for any age and the small size is perfect for little ones to cuddle with!
The large size whale measures 20 x 12 inches (50 x 30cm) and the small whale measures 12 x 6 inches (30 x 15cm). This original design uses simple pattern pieces to allow you to practice skills such as pinning and sewing curves, topstitching and a small amount of hand-stitch finishing.
The printed envelope contains a step-by-step, illustrated instruction booklet as well as a 36 x 24 inch printed paper pattern sheet.
