Assembling

First sew Pikachu’s ears to his head. Make sure you keep the head the right way, with the inc’s we created the cheeks and a sort of nose, so be aware of that.
With felting wool and the needle felt technic I made his face, but you can ofcourse use felt instead, depends on what you want. It was my first time trying needle felting on one of my amigurumi’s and I must say it’s kinda tricky.
Now sew the Hood to the Sleeping Bag. This can be a bit tricky, check my pics to see how I placed it and then sew it on. At this point, sewing pins are your best friend.
Sew Umbreon’s ears to the hood and his tail at the bottom of the sleeping bag. Now position 4 dots/circles on the base of the sleeping bag and 1 dot/circle between the ears of Umbreon. I only sew around the outside, but you can sew around the inside as well. Make with some grey yarn a ‘zipper’. I wanted to make it way to detailed at first, but that didn’t work out. Two strokes of yarn looks fine to. And I forgot the name of the thing you pull the zipper up and down with, but don’t forget to cute that out of felt and put it on.
Last but not least, sew on Pikachu’s head in the hood, best way yo do that is to pull the hood down, so you have plenty of space to work.

I hope I covered everything with the assembling but if anything is unclear, please comment down below of send me an email through the contact page, and I’ll get back to you!

Hopefully you like this one as much as I do! I wanna make more versions, and I hope you want more of them too! Don’t forget to share with #DelinleaDIY on Twitter/Instagram!
