Assembling

Start with sewing on the legs, use some sewing pins first to make sure you position them right, before sewing them on. This way you can easily move them around until you are happy with the look. The ‘arms’ go just under the middle of the body. Sew them on securely.
Sew the inside of the ears to the ears, and sew those to the body.
To give Marie some fluff on top of her head and on the sides of her face, I took 2 pieces of white yarn, tied a knot in the middle and pulled both ends through the side, with a yarn needle, to the middle of the head and on the sides of the face, just under the ears. Make sure the knot dissapears inside the body. Cut the yarn slightly longer as you want and with the yarn needle you can untwist the yarn, so it get’s fluffy. Now you can give them the final hair cut ^^.
Time for the bow on top of her head. I glued it on, but you can totally sew them on if you prefer.
Now put on her collar, and sew or glue it on, so it stays in place. And don’t forget to sew the big bow to her back, on her collar.
Cut her eyes out of blue felt and a nose out of pink felt and glue those on. give her some blush on her cheeks with some soft pastel chalk or make-up.

You are finished now! I hope you enjoyed making Marie! Ofcourse you can add lashes and eyebrows with needle and thread, but I was just lazy and I like how she turned out this way!

Have a lovely crafty day y’all.

Love
