My parents: do you purposefully take unflattering pictures of your cat? Why can’t you send a nice one?

boigameista answered:

@burakhovskys i can try to make a step by step post! it may be sort of long but definitely watch out for one as i’d be happy to further explain!!!

Ok so this is going to take a couple posts cuz last time i tried to post after i had all my info in and it deleted everything when i hit the reblog button 🥴

Without further a do

The Frog Tutorial

(Part 1)

1. First have all your cutouts ready!!!

you can choose at this stage to sew the eyes on or you can wait to position them how you want on the face, I’m doing it later, so that part of the tutorial will be addressed in another installment.

(Im using white thread so its easier to see how i sew)

2. Put one of the sides on top of the belly piece, lining up their nose tips in the center.

3. Stick your needle through the top of the side piece through the belly piece, pull the thread through, and loop back around to the top to sew how i do, keep repeating until you reach the arm!

4. For the arms/legs youll want to make sure in these crevices (circled in green) are sewn 2-3 times to make sure the fabric is secure and no holes open up, do this with every crevice!

5. After that sew all the way down to the almost the middle of the butt but leaving space in the middle just as the og pattern suggests.

6. Clip off the excess thread after this since we will have to start sewing in a different area in the next part.

The Frog Tutorial (part 2)

7. Line up the side pieces together, using the tips of their faces to line up the back sides

8. Start sewing again in the middle of the back end of the pieces, not all the way at the bottom where they would meet the belly piece,, otherwise the frog will have a concave ass.

9. Once youve sewn up all the back to the front the face pieces should line up, here you will just need to get as close to the belly piece then sew through to the belly piece to start doing the rest of the frog

10. Once you get to the back of the front leg, tie it off so its not getting in the way, and then were going to flip the frog inside out.

11. To get the feets out just push them using a somewhat skinny but blunt object so they stick out like this

NOW WERE GONNA DO EYES!

12. To do the eyes, push the needle through the inside to the outside after rethreading it and making sure it has a really good knot,

13. After its through pull the thread all the way through till it hits the knot and then skewer the pompom thru the middle, pushing it all the way down till it rests on the head.

14. After its on the head, pierce the pompom again and back through the interior, here you can flip the frog inside out and sew a little through the interior of the fleece and tie a knot so its secure, or you can sew the pompom a couple more times to make it more attached to the head.
