Sewing Up
Body Pieces
Take the two body pieces and sew them up so the right sides are facing in, leave a small opening and turn the piece once you have sewn round the edges.
With the right sides now facing outwards stuff the body and sew up the hole.
Legs and Tail Pieces
With the tail and legs take the rectangular pieces and sew together on the wrong side to make a tunnel. Turn the pieces and stuff the legs then sew up.
With the tail place the pipe cleaner inside and sew up, this gives the tail extra shaping.
Head
Sew half the head together on the wrong side. Then turn so the right side is facing, half should be open.
Then take the eyes and nose and place them on to the head.
For my eyes I wrapped a small amount of green wool around the plastic and sewed it in, however this is not necessary, you can use just plain black eyes or coloured ones.
Once the eyes and nose are secure add the whiskers but just sewing the wool next to the nose. I tie mine on the insdie after putting each one in to make sure it stays in place!
Stuff the head and sew up.
Ears
With the ears place the pink insides on top of the grey eyes, use grey wool to sew up along the ears, keeping it neat and flat.
Sew the ears on to the head.
How to place your cat together
Place font leg along side the body, sew it at the top of the body and the middle, leaving a slight gap so it curves around.
Place the back leg on to the lower side of the body and sew there and in the middle, meeting up with the front leg. Giving the same kind of gap and curving.
Sew the tail on to the end of the body. With it in place curve it round slightly over the back leg and sew it into place so it looks all snuggly.
To sew the head on place it over the body and tack it into place, position its face looking straight on. It should rest over the front leg. Sew it into the position you are most happy with and admire your finished cat!
