It is also necessary to provide an allowance of 3-5 mm at the seams.
The toy is sewn in the following sequence:
- the upper part of the head (forehead, ears, nape) is first fastened with one barrel, then with another, trying to combine the common points of contact of all the details as accurately as possible - nose and neck;
- two parts of the tummy are stitched with the legs of the barrels;
- back and tail are combined;
- a toy through a hole in the tummy is stuffed with a synthetic winterizer;
- the tummy connects.
