Making Up
- Before you start to sew the bootie together, stitch eyes/nose/mouth where you want with black or dark grey yarn (Yarn B).
- Attach the ears – to the side of the head.
- Weave in all ends along the bootie, not up the side, as this will cause a bumpy edge.
- Join the heel and the foot with a flat seam.
