ASSEMBLY

Attach Gusset to Front Panel: Take the Front Panel (with face details) and the Side Gusset. Starting at the bottom center of the Front Panel, whip stitch the gusset along the perimeter, leaving approximately the top 7 inches open for the zipper. Ensure the right sides are facing out.
Attach Gusset to Back Panel: Repeat step 1 with the Back Panel, aligning it carefully. This will create the 3D shape of the bag with an opening at the top.
Insert Zipper: Pin the orange zipper into the top opening. Carefully hand sew the zipper in place using a matching thread.
Attach Ears: Position the ears on the top of the fox head, between the front and back panels, just behind the zipper line. Sew them securely in place.
Attach Strap Connectors: Sew one strap connector to each side of the bag, near the top where the strap will attach.
Prepare Strap: Thread one end of the turquoise/teal webbing strap through a D-ring. Fold over and sew securely. Thread the other end of the strap through the slider buckle, then through the second D-ring, and back through the slider buckle.
Attach Strap to Bag: Attach the D-rings of the prepared strap to the strap connectors on the bag.

Weave in all remaining ends. Your adorable Crochet Fox Fanny Pack is now complete!
