♥ Assembling

Whenever I start assembling Amigurumi, I’d like to use sewing pins to position all parts first until I’m happy. Then I will sew them on. I recommend you do so as well.

Put the apron around the body. Then sew the head to her body and attach the arms as well. Next sew on her hair and her bun. I shaded the hair a bit with some Grey pastel, but you don’t have to do this. Around the bun, tie a bit of Red yarn. With a bit of Black yarn create her mouth.

If you want to hang it, don’t forget to add a loop to the top.
