That’s all the pieces completed! Now to sew everything together. Sew the bottom piece onto the body so that it’s making full contact.
Now find a spot along the middle segment that you want to be your face, position your cheek circles so they are evenly on both the bottom and top. Add small embroidery eyes using your black yarn scraps in between your two cheeks. Next position the large antenna so they are inline with your eyes, and closer to the back of the head I recommend just pinning them at first and positioning your small antenna at the same time. Sew them in place once your satisfied with their position
Finally sew the three green circles spaced out along the back following the curve of the bottom piece.
And you’re done, to forget to tuck all loose threads and tighten your knots, thank you for joining me in making my first pattern!
