ASSEMBLY

– Sew the head and paws to the body (see photo).

– Tighten the navel. To do this, insert a needle and thread from the back, where the tail will be attached, and bring it out in the middle of the belly. Go down 1 row, return to the starting point, tighten the thread, and repeat again. Secure the thread with 2-3 knots.

– Sew the tail so it is facing down.
– Embroider the toes with black thread.

– Using a dark thread, embroider stripes on the tail and sides of the body, using the photo as a guide. Also, instead of embroidery, you can use acrylic colors or felt-tip pens for fabrics.

– Fix the upper paws to a suitable stick and tie the ends with a string about 20 cm long. The toy can be hung from this string.

– You can wrap a scarf (bow) or beads in the shape of sausages around the neck. The kitty is ready!
