Assembly
Attach Ears: Position the black ears on top of the white head section of the bag, roughly between Rnds 30-33 of the main body, ensuring they are evenly spaced. Sew securely with the tail left on the ears.
Attach Eye Patches: Pin the black eye patches to the white face area. Place them below the ears and slightly to the sides of the center. Sew them securely.
Insert Safety Eyes: Carefully make a small opening through the center of each black eye patch and insert the safety eyes. Secure the washers on the inside of the bag.
Embroider Face: With black yarn, embroider a small ‘V’ shape for the nose just below the center of the eyes. From the bottom of the nose, embroider a curved line for the mouth.
Embroider Cheeks: With pink embroidery floss or thin yarn, create a small horizontal satin stitch or a few small stitches on each side of the face, slightly below the eyes, to form the rosy cheeks.
Attach Strap: Securely sew each end of the braided strap to the top side edges of the bag opening. Reinforce stitches to ensure durability.
