Assembly
1. Overalls: Position the blue pants section of the overalls around the lower body (around R10-R20 of the body) and sew it securely in place. Sew the bib to the front of the body, overlapping the pants section slightly. Attach the two straps from the top corners of the bib to the back of the overalls.
2. Arms: Sew the arms to the sides of the upper body, around rounds 18-20, evenly spaced.
3. Legs: Sew the black legs to the bottom of the body, slightly towards the front, ensuring the Minion can stand (or sit) as desired.
4. Goggles & Eyes: Attach the white eyes onto the grey goggle frames. Once done, sew the two goggle frames together in the middle. Attach the black goggle strap to the outer edges of the goggle frames, wrapping it around the Minion’s head and securing it at the back. Position the goggles on the upper face and sew them securely.
5. Embroider Details: Using black yarn and a tapestry needle, embroider the iconic ‘G’ logo onto the front bib of the overalls. Finally, embroider a cheerful curved smile onto the Minion’s face below the goggles.
Your adorable Minion is now complete! Enjoy your new mischievous friend.
