Assembly & Finishing

1. Facial Features: Sew the snout to the head, centered below the eyes. With black embroidery floss, embroider a small oval for the nose on the snout and a gentle curved smile below it. Embroider thin eyebrows above the safety eyes.
2. Ears: Sew the flattened ears to the top of the head, slightly to the sides.
3. Attach Head to Body: Sew the head to the body firmly, ensuring it’s centered and secure.
4. Attach Limbs: Sew the arms to the sides of the body, just below where the head attaches. Sew the legs to the bottom of the body, spaced evenly.
5. Dress Pooh: Carefully slide the red shirt onto Pooh’s body, positioning it so the arms come out of the top edge. The shirt should cover the upper body and part of the arms, creating the ‘sleeve’ effect as seen in the image. You may choose to stitch the shirt in place at a few points to secure it.
6. Final Touches: Weave in any remaining loose ends. Give your Pooh Bear a gentle squeeze to distribute the stuffing evenly.
