Paper Ponies
We're going to paper. I'm creating the pieces the pattern asks for minus the seam allowances. The numbers I write in my directions will include seam allowances for when I sew the horses up later.
17. To make the front legs, measure and cut 3-3/4" (tall) x 4" (wide) from HORSE fabric and a 3-inch squares from BACKGROUND fabric. Place the 3-inch square right sides together with the upper LEFT hand corner of the horse fabric. Draw a diagonal line from the lower left hand corner to the upper right hand corner, and sew along the line. Repeat with 2-3/4" square in lower RIGHT corner.
Cut a piece of HORSE fabric 1-3/4" x 3-3/4" and attach to RIGHT edge of unit just made.
18. Measure and cut 2" x 3-1/4" of background fabric and 1-3/4" x 3-1/4" of horse fabric. Join these two pieces together to make the second leg unit.
19. To create the hooves, measure and cut THREE 1-3/4" x 2-3/4" of HORSE fabric and THREE, 1-1/4" x 2-3/4" rectangles of HOOF fabric. Connect a 2-1/2 inch BACKGROUND fabric square to each hoof unit.
20. To make the crook along the horse's foot, sew a 1" x 1-1/4" inch piece of HORSE fabric to 1" x 1-3/4" BACKGROUND fabric piece along the diagonal. Connect to back of TWO of the Hoof Units, then trim top of hoof by 1/2" to match height of crook. (set one complete crook-unit aside for hind-most hoof)
Connect to leg unit just made.
21. Measure and cut 1-1/4" x 2-1/2" of BACKGROUND fabric and 1-3/4" x 2-1/2" of HORSE fabric to create the unit. Connect this component with the second hoof section.
Connect the lower legs together.
Then, join the unit beneath the upper leg unit.
22. To create the rear legs, join 1-1/4" x 2-3/4" from the hoof fabric and 2" x 2-3/4" horse fabric.
Place this unit right sides together in the lower right hand corner of a 6" (wide) x 8" (tall) piece of background fabric. Sew the components along the diagonal, and press open.
23. Measure and cut 1-3/4" x 2-1/2" of background fabric and 1-3/4" x 6-1/2" of the horse fabric. Place the background fabric horizontally along the bottom of the horse fabric strip. Draw a diagonal line across the background fabric and sew along the drawn line.
Join that leg to previous piece (background w/hoof)
24. Place a 2-3/4" inch square of HORSE fabric on the rear unit in the upper right hand corner. Draw a diagonal line through the center from the lower right hand corner to the upper left hand corner, and sew.
Join diagonally 2" x 4-1/4" BACKGROUND fabric to 2" x 4-1/4" HORSE fabric.
25. Join 1-3/4" x 3-1/4" background fabric and 1-3/4" x 5" of horse fabric diagonally. Attach to previous unit, and attach this piece to the hoof unit.
Now attach that unit to the rear unit. Attach to front legs. Then connect to the body (saddle & neck unit)
17. To make the front legs, measure and cut 3-3/4" (tall) x 4" (wide) from HORSE fabric and a 3-inch squares from BACKGROUND fabric. Place the 3-inch square right sides together with the upper LEFT hand corner of the horse fabric. Draw a diagonal line from the lower left hand corner to the upper right hand corner, and sew along the line. Repeat with 2-3/4" square in lower RIGHT corner.
Cut a piece of HORSE fabric 1-3/4" x 3-3/4" and attach to RIGHT edge of unit just made.
18. Measure and cut 2" x 3-1/4" of background fabric and 1-3/4" x 3-1/4" of horse fabric. Join these two pieces together to make the second leg unit.
19. To create the hooves, measure and cut THREE 1-3/4" x 2-3/4" of HORSE fabric and THREE, 1-1/4" x 2-3/4" rectangles of HOOF fabric. Connect a 2-1/2 inch BACKGROUND fabric square to each hoof unit.
20. To make the crook along the horse's foot, sew a 1" x 1-1/4" inch piece of HORSE fabric to 1" x 1-3/4" BACKGROUND fabric piece along the diagonal. Connect to back of TWO of the Hoof Units, then trim top of hoof by 1/2" to match height of crook. (set one complete crook-unit aside for hind-most hoof)
Connect to leg unit just made.
21. Measure and cut 1-1/4" x 2-1/2" of BACKGROUND fabric and 1-3/4" x 2-1/2" of HORSE fabric to create the unit. Connect this component with the second hoof section.
Connect the lower legs together.
Then, join the unit beneath the upper leg unit.
22. To create the rear legs, join 1-1/4" x 2-3/4" from the hoof fabric and 2" x 2-3/4" horse fabric.
Place this unit right sides together in the lower right hand corner of a 6" (wide) x 8" (tall) piece of background fabric. Sew the components along the diagonal, and press open.
23. Measure and cut 1-3/4" x 2-1/2" of background fabric and 1-3/4" x 6-1/2" of the horse fabric. Place the background fabric horizontally along the bottom of the horse fabric strip. Draw a diagonal line across the background fabric and sew along the drawn line.
Join that leg to previous piece (background w/hoof)
24. Place a 2-3/4" inch square of HORSE fabric on the rear unit in the upper right hand corner. Draw a diagonal line through the center from the lower right hand corner to the upper left hand corner, and sew.
Join diagonally 2" x 4-1/4" BACKGROUND fabric to 2" x 4-1/4" HORSE fabric.
25. Join 1-3/4" x 3-1/4" background fabric and 1-3/4" x 5" of horse fabric diagonally. Attach to previous unit, and attach this piece to the hoof unit.
Now attach that unit to the rear unit. Attach to front legs. Then connect to the body (saddle & neck unit)
