THE EARS

STEP 1:

I start by making the ears and I always work out of frame, you can take the temporary glue to help you put your support in your frame 10x10cm. Follow the steps.
Stop 1: the first seam must be made on the support to tell you where to put your fabric, be careful to hide this seam with your fabric.
Stop 2: The second seam is done on your fabric, this seam fixes your fabric on the support, you can put temporary glue before doing this step. Before moving on to the next step, put your 2nd piece of fabric, place against place on your fabric that is in your frame.
Stop 3 : Sewing to bind your 2 pieces of fabric together, It remains only to get gut of the frame, remove the excess tissue and return to the place, set aside until at the time of making the head.

THE ASSEMBLY

STEP 5:

All you have to do is do the assembly. For the head, put your stuff, once well filled make an invisible seam to close.
Before closing the arms, find the center and put a press button to attach with the small blanket.
Subsequently put the stuff and close with an invisible seam For the muzzle, make a small notch on the back of the muzzle, turn in the place, put the stuff and sew your small notch. The muzzle lands once your head is sewn onto the arms.
Position your head on your arms, I put a little fabric glue to hold my head in place before sewing.
Once your glue is dry and your head is in place, sew it with an invisible seam. When your head is well sewn on the arms, take your muzzle and put a little fabric glue to position it on your face, once dry, make your seam invisible.
