Pull slightly on body and
head pieces to form almost an oval shape, the sewing tail will be poking out to
the left side or the right side of the body or head once manipulated correctly.
Sew grey head to white
body by over lapping the head over the body slightly.
Place the legs with the
long tail for sewing on the shoulder of the body, legs should be curved
slightly and sticking over the bottom of the body slightly.
Nose construction: sew
beginning tail to end tale position, hide in tail and finish that piece of yarn
off, pull nose into shape, small arch at the top, larger arch at the bottom,
sew center space of nose opening closed, do not make this too tight, position
nose and sew on the nose
Position ears, the larger
part of the ear should be on a down ward slope (see pictures)
Sew on eyes
Sew on a mouth; I visualize
a sideways C that meets in the middle
Sew on some claws, I used
3 small sewing st’s on each
Once all of this was made
I did a few grey sc’s in between the legs and left a very long tail to sew my appliqué
on with.
