printing the pattern:

To print the pattern, set your computer to print pages 23-25. If you’re unfamiliar with printing
and assembling a .pdf pattern, read the steps below.

At the print dialog box, check the box that says

print at “Actual Size” or 100%. Any other selection
(such as “Fit to page”) will distort the pattern so it’s
slightly larger or smaller and we don’t want that.

Print the pages needed for the file. You might have
one or more. Either way, be sure you have the
full collection by noting the page numbers in the
corner.

You can trace the patterns onto a different paper,

or you can also just cut them straight from the
printer paper. They might be a little hard to pin
through, so you might want to use your longest
pins. But you could also use pattern weights or
trace the outlines onto the fabric with a washable
marker and cut them out from there.

suggested fabrics:
Body: Fleece, minky, felt, or terry
cloth
Thick, plush fabrics like these give
the pouch some body. The resulting
pouch will feel less flimsy and more
like a floppy stuffed animal. The
minky fleece stretchy fabric options, like fleece and
minky, will sew more easily if you
fuse a bit of lightweight interfacing
to them. But it’s not absolutely
necessary.
Lining: Quilting cotton
Something thin and easy to sew is
best for the inside of the pouch. This
will make attaching it to a zipper
much less of a headache. Plus, you
can find something in a cute print to
match your outer pouch fabric.

1 . sew the head crown

for:
• Grab your Front/Back piece (A) and the corresponding Crown piece for your evolution (I1 or D1). Align
it along the top of the Front/Back using the pattern and photo as a guide. Pin the crown in place.
→→ You can also use a bit of glue stick to baste the piece in place.
• Stitch the crown in place along the edge that overlaps with the face. You could use a medium zigzag
stitch or a straight stitch if you prefer.
• Flip the front/back piece over and trim away the excess face fabric from the back (cream for Sylveon;
aqua for Vapreon). Trim about ¼” away from the stitching. This will reduce bulk for when you add the
zipper later.

2 . prepare the applique

for: all versions
• Take your fusible web and trace all of your details onto the smooth (paper) side. If you need help
finding which pieces go with which character, see the chart on the next page.
• Fuse the bumpy (adhesive) side onto the wrong side of the specified applique fabric.
• Cut out the applique pieces and arrange them on the Front piece of your main fabric. You can do
this by setting your paper pattern on top of the fabric piece (right sides up), align the eye piece on
top where the placement markings are, then carefully pull the paper pattern away while holding the
applique piece in place.

3. sew the applique

for: all versions
• Fuse the eye pieces in place with your iron (use a press cloth -- such as a scrap piece of cotton -- if
you’re using a polyester or fur fabric like minky).
• Repeat with the eye shine and nose pieces (depending on your character). Refer to the chart on the
previous page for help with extra elements like the Leafeon sprout or Umbreon ring, etc.
• If you used heavy duty fusible web, you can keep the pieces fused without sewing, or you can sew
them in place a number of ways. I’ve used a zigzag stitch here.
→→ Refer to the next step for some other applique options.

3a. other applique options

for: all versions
Other good options for applique include a straight stitch, which involves sewing around the edge of the
applique pieces with a straight stitch using matching thread -- about 1/8” in from the edge.
You can also applique by hand; I prefer a whipstitch. Thread a hand-sewing needle with some matching
thread and knot it. Bring the thread up from the back of the project; about 1/8” in from the edge of the
applique shape. Bring it down perpendicular from the curve, just outside of the applique shape. This
completes one stitch.
For the next stitch, bring the needle back up about 1/8” away from the previous stitch and 1/8” in from
the edge just as in the first stitch. Once again, bring it down just outside the applique shape. Continue
this way until you’ve sewn around the shape.

4. sew the leafeon ear tips

for:
• If you haven’t already, locate the triangle notch markings found on the edge of the Leafeon ear pieces
(E1 & E2). Bring together an Ear Base and Ear Tip piece by matching up these notches (this ensures
the finished ears will be symmetrical).
• Sew along the notched edge. Repeat with the remaining three Ear Tip and Base pieces so you have
four completed pieces total.

5 . applique the inner ears

for:
• Trace and fuse the inner ear pieces you need for your character the same way you did for the face
pieces. Grab two of your ears that are mirror image of each other (B, E, or I2).
• Fuse the inner ear to the applicable accent fabric, cut it out, and center it on the two ear pieces. Sew or
fuse the applique in place just like with the face.

6. sew the umbreon ears

for:
• The Umbreon ears are a stack of 3 (G1-3). Start by finding the
single-notched edge of the base and middle piece (G1 & 2). Line
them up with right sides facing and notches matching.
• Sew the base and middle together along this notched edge.
• Repeat the same with the ear tip (G3), but matching up the double
notches. This ensures that the finished ears will be symmetrical.
• Repeat the same thing with the first seam, sewing across the
edge with the double-notches. Repeat with the other ear pieces
for four complete ear stacks total.

right side out later.

24. sew the bow center

for:
• Grab your Sylveon Bow and Bow Center pieces (I3&4). Center the bow center piece over the bow with
both right sides facing up. Just like with the head crown, you can baste it with a bit of glue stick if you
like.
• Stitch the center in place along the curved edges. You could use a medium zigzag stitch or a straight
stitch if you prefer.
• Align the appliqued bow piece with the blank one so right sides are facing and raw edges are
matching up.

25. sew and turn the bow

for:
• Sew completely around the perimeter of the bow, being sure to pivot at the corners near the middle.
• To turn the bow, clip a small slit about 1” long into the blank side of the fabric (without the pink center
piece).
• Turn the bow right side out through the opening.

26. attach the bow

for:
• Place the bow at the base of the right ear, right sides both facing up (cut side on the bottom so it can’t
be seen).
• Stitch the bow in place with a ladder stitch, going around the hole you cut from the back of the bow.
→→ Take a 1/8” stitch into the bow, then go across and take a stitch into the pouch. Keep going
around the opening until you reach where you started.
When you’re finished, stitch a knot into the end of the seam. Then insert the needle near the
finished knot and out of the plush about 1-2” away.
Pull the thread through and hold it taut while snipping the thread. The excess thread should sink
back inside the pouch -- all hidden!

• Clip the seam allowance at the inner corners. Turn the crest right
side out and define the corners with a chopstick or other turning
tool.
• Refer to the paper pattern to find the top stitching lines that point
out the sections of the crest. Transfer them to the right side of
your crest and stitch a medium straight stitch along them.
• Place the crest on the front of the pouch near the top, just barely
covering the Glaceon eyes.
• Stitch the crest in place with a ladder stitch around the perimeter,
similar to the Sylveon bow back in step 26.
