Assembling

Whenever I start assembling Amigurumi’s, I use sewing pins first to put it together. This way I can easily move parts around until I am happy. Then I will sew it on.

I started with sewing on the tail of the Cheshire cat first, where you can see rows switching in the back. After I positioned the legs, I sewed those on as well.
Then it’s time to get the snout on; find the top light pink row of the body, then go one row up and above that one you can sew on the snout. Then attach the nose as well.
Last I’ve sewn on the ears.
Now for the fluffy bits by the ears and on his cheeks. I use strands of yarn and tie about 2 or 3 together. With a needle, I’ve pulled them to the spot I wanted them to be in. Cut them to about the length you want the fluff to be. Use a needle to unraffle the yarn and brush it out to make it fluffy. Give it a final cut to the right length.
Last, make his facial detail out of some felt and use a needle and thread if you prefer.

And the Cheshire Cat is all done!
