♥  Assembling:

To make sure you sew all parts in the right place, you can use some sewing pins to position them. When you are happy with the position, you can sew them on.
Sew the legs on to the bottom of the body, the front legs are pointing to the front. The back legs are pointing to the side.
Sew the ears on top of his head, just beside each other. and put his little Santa hat over one of his ears!
For the eyes, eyebrows and nose, you can either choose to use felt or you can embroider them on. I chose to embroider them on, cause yeah why choose the easy way haha. But which way you choose, Piglet will look cute.

I hope you enjoyed making Piglet, he loves his little Santa hat!
And by the way, don’t forget to share your Piglet with the #DelinleaDIY
