♥ Assembling
Whenever I start assembling Amigurumi, I’d like to use sewing pins to position all parts first until I’m happy. Then I will sew them on. I recommend you do so as well.
There isn’t much sewing left to do, since the Drips are already sewn on. All that remains is to sew on the flame. Then with the piece of black yarn, create his mouth.
If you want to hang it, don’t forget to add a loop to the top.
I hope you enjoyed today’s pattern! I think it’s adorable. If you decided to make any of the blogmas amigurumi, please show me on Twitter or Instagram with #DelinleaDIY. I’d love to see what you make using my patterns.
