I found this template on Pinterest http://pinterest.com/pin/491173903080520063/ and it led me to http://laschorradikasdelaury.blogspot.com.es/2011/12/patron-pez-nemo-e-fieltro.html. As I don't speak Spanish, I can't tell you more about this blog, but the template totally worked and my nemo turned out fine! I guess the diy is by someone else but I can't find a proper source. :( Because the image isn't mine, I can't upload the template but you can get it from the link.

Instructions

  1. Small dscn2536

    Transfer the template to paper and cut the shapes out. I traced the shape through my screen onto paper, it's cheaper and you can choose the size :) Cut out the body shape in orange felt. (2x)

  2. Small dscn2537

    Cut out the white pieces for the stripes and eyes. If you want your nemo to be twosided, don't forget to cut out the white pieces twice.

  3. Small dscn2538

    Pin the white pieces onto the body.

  4. Small dscn2539

    Handsew them on. Leave a gap open where the side fins will be, first stripe next to the eye, lower level.

  5. Small dscn2540

    If you want, do this for both sides.

  6. Small dscn2543

    Make the fins by cutting out 4 of them (2 for each side). Sew two together. With that, try to stich straight lines from the peak to each ... you know.. the little gaps at the outer edges. :D It gives the fin its structure and makes it firmer.

  7. Small dscn2544

    Put the fin into the open part under the stripe and secure by handsewing.

  8. Small dscn2545

    Glue on the pupils.

  9. Small dscn2547

    Begin handsewing the body parts together, leave a gap open and put stuffing in. Then close the gap.

  10. Small dscn2549

    Start defining the other fins by sewing straight lines.

  11. Small dscn2571

    Aaaaand you're done! :)
