If it is felt, you don’t have to add seam allowance, but if it is fabric you will have to add.

Do I need to add a 3/8 seam allowance or is it already built into the pattern. I printed it at 200% but it seems like when I blanket stitch, the legs are too small to stuff (very skinny). Should I have added the 3/8″ after printing the pattern then blanket stitch?

Thank you! I was able to accomplish the basting/stitching hexagon portion. Now moving on to the next step. Thanks for clarification. I had never done the hexagon process before.

Just remove the baste stitches and take out the cardboards after you have finished sewing up the sides and before attach it to the top shell.
