Assembling
Whenever I start assembling amigurumi’s, I prefer to use sewing pins first. This way I can position and reposition all parts until I am happy with how it looks. I recommend you do so as well.
First
position Flounders snout, just under the middle of the face and sew it on.
Along sewing the snout on, make sure to stuff it slightly.
His side fins go just under the first stripe on his back. His back fin start
from the first stripe as well. His tail, obviously goes on his behind, or however
you wanna call it. Sew all those parts on.
I used embroidery to make his face, but of course you can use felt or anything
else instead, just what you prefer. With a bit of pink pastel dust you can make
his blushy cheeks.
Optional, to make Flounder’s eyes a bit deeper into the amigurumi, use some yarn on a needle. Make sure to tie a good knot at the end. Now go from a random spot, where you can get the knot through the body, to his eyes, without going through the eye, but just behind the yarn used there. The do the same with the other eye and pull the yarn tightly. You can see you pull the eyes slightly inward. Secure the yarn somewhere tightly where it’s not visible and finish off.
I hope you had fun making Flounder! I think it’s such a fun TsumTsum to make!
Have a wonderful day!
Love
Danielle
