2. 

   




3. 

   

   i folded a piece of felt in half, pinned the dog onto the felt, and started cutting. cutting it this way is never perfect, so just recut the edges that don't look right.
   
   you need TWO pieces of every shape.

4. 

   

   i cut out a triangle for the nose, tear drop eyes, and pink blush. ignore the 6 dots, was going for whiskers, but it doesn't fit. hahahaha
   
   make sure to cut out TWO of each shape.
   
   i usually eye ball how big the eyes or other shapes.




5. 

   

   i sew it the in and out way...not the over the top way...because you won't see the stitches that much...start sewing from the bottom of the cheek all the way to the other side, but leave an openning for cotton =]

9. 

   

   this is the tricky part...closing up the hole.
   it's like your shoes..chucks...when you want to change your shoelances to make them look straight and not zigzag...
   
   -poke it over one side so that the needle is on the inside.

10. 

    

    the make another poke next to your last poke.

11. 

    

    and poke it over the other side so that the needle is again facing the inside

12. 

    

    and as you make more stitches, make sure to pull on your thread to tighten it, but becareful of knots and breaking the string =(

13. 

    

    loop three knots around needle and pull through to tie. do this about 2 or 3 times to make sure it won't come off.

20.
