Sewing together
Ensure you read all instructions for sewing. Each part should be
sewn on as instructed in each part – When sewing parts onto
head, sew the eyes on first and then the top and bottom snout.
Use a small amount of brown yarn for the nostrils. Sew ears
onto each side of the head. The head should be sewn onto the
body before the legs so the positioning is right. Sew each leg
onto the sides of body. Sew the tail onto the back bottom of the
body. Your Slowpoke is now finished. Hope you enjoyed my
pattern!!!
