ON P87Stitch the seams neatly
and firmly and attach
the ears by oversewing.
For the nose and mouth,
thread a blunt needle with
a single strand of yarn in
the colour required and
insert the needle into an
inconspicuous point, such
as the nape of the neck,
and bring it through the
work to the point where
you wish to add embroidery
stitches, so that the end of
the yarn is lost inside the
stuffing. Use satin stitch for
the nose and backstitch or
split stitch for the mouth.Making UP
