Assembling

By the use of sewing pins, you can position all of your parts first to see if you like it. When you are happy,  you can sew it on. I recomment you doing so.

First, cut of 14 pieces of white yarn, about 7 cm. (You’ll gonna cut them shorter later, so it doesn’t come very close). Those pieces of yarn we are gonna add to the sides of little foxy’s face, around the edge of the white. This with be fluffy. Add 7 on each side, 3 front, 4 behind those, if you don’t know how to do this, look at the pictures, you basicly tie a knot.
unraffle the pieces of yarn with a needle, and if you want you can brush it a little more to get even more fluff.
Now it needs to be trimmed, cut it a little longer as you want them, you’ll probably loose lengthe if you shape them. And cut those in the shape you like.

Time to add his arms and legs, sew those on, but make sure there’s enough space to sew his belly on as well.
On his backside, his tail will be added. Just play around until you like how he looks.
Last add his ears, slightly curved, just above his fluffy white cheeks.
From the black felt, cut his little nose and mouth, and glue those on.

And he is already finished! What do you think?! Liked this cute little foxy pattern? I just love designing small things, I’d probably can go smaller, hmm, but that’s for another time!

Have a wonderful day!
