Assembly
1. Sew muzzle onto head.
2. Using black crochet thread, sew on the nose using a series of horizontal backstitches. We made a total of 11 backstitches for tiny Tammy.
3. With the remaining black crochet thread, sew a W shape for the lips. Make tiny backstitch loops near the curves to turn it into a smile. Try using your darning needle to push the curves into place.
4. Cut white felt into two small crescent shapes, matching the size of the black brads. Pair them up with the black brads and glue them onto where the eye indentations are.
5. Sew on the body, arms, feet, ears and tail.
6. Sew heart onto the front of the body.
7. Add a pop of blush onto Tammy’s cheeks.
