JOINING TIPS
On the body
– use the bottom part where you made stitches into the BLO to guide on what angle to sew the buttons. The start/end point of the BLO should be behind or beside where you sew the buttons
– leave 1 inch space each between buttons
– sew arms on same line with the top/first button
– leave 2 inches space each between the top button and either arms
– leave 1 inch space between the head and the arm, so the scarf can sit comfortably on the ‘neck’
On the head
– sew the nose first. When sewing it, align it on the same line as the buttons on the body
– Sew eyes with a 1.2 inches space between them
– for the lips/mouth, pass black yarn through the stitches
– before stuffing, tie all loose ends inside the head multiple times, just to ensure they’re well secured
