ASSEMBLY
EYES
1. Cut 2 small ovals out of black felt. Mine were about 2 1/2 stitches high and 1 1/2 stitches wide.
2. Take some white thread and a regular needle and sew a few stitches next to each other to create the look of a highlight.
3. Sew each eyes (already with the highlight) so the top sits between between R25 and R26. Leave 3 stitches in between.
4. Secure the thread inside so the tails are hidden.
SPOTS
1. Before you begin to sew, pin the spots in place. Count the number of stitches in between each spot so that they are evenly spaced. Use the front spot as your guide since you can centre this above the eyes.
2. Sew the front spot on first, followed by the back spot.
3. Sew one spot to each side.
4. Lastly, sew on last spot to the top.
Woohoo! You’re all done. Enjoy your Mega Mushroom
