Step 1 Cut out your templatesThe two sets of templates in this project are to be used in different ways. The fin, eye and scaletemplates are given without a seam allowance and will provide you with a line to stitch on.

The body templates are given with an added seam allowance and will provide you with a line on which

to cut.

Step 2 Make the fins, eyes and scales .

- Lets start with the tail fin Select a scrap that is bigenough to fit the template with an extra around

the outside.

- Draw around the template directly onto the wrongside of the fabric and mark where the turning gap

Turn the fin right sides out through the turning gap. Dont be

afraid of creasing the cellophane! Just pretend its not there!

Use a blunt pointed tool like a knitting needle or a wooden

BBQ skewer to help you push into the corners.

Press the finished fin flat

*** Do not have your iron on the highest setting for this and

do not hold the iron on the pieces for more than about 2

seconds. Otherwise you might distort the cellophane. ***

Repeat this process to make the top and bottom fins, 2 eyes

and 14 scales. You will not need to mark the turning gap on

the other pieces as they all have an obvious open edge.

Step 3 cut out the body pieces- Use the templates to cut your body pieces from your fabric left overs. You get to be creative
