Assembling

Sew the stem to the Hat and put the hat on the body, you don’t have to sew it on, but you can if you want.
Place the arms and legs, using sewing pins, so you can still move them around easily until you are happy. Then sew them on.
With some black thread you can sew on a mouth and add some blush on the cheeks with make-up or Soft Pastel.

And you are pretty much done! I hope you enjoyed making this pattern! And if you did, I would love to see yours! Use the #DelinleaDIY on twitter or Instgram!
