Finishing the last details.
Sew the head onto the the body and sew the thread carefully.
The legs are sewn on the left and right of the body between rnd 8 and 9. Sew the leg along the inside onto the body so that it fits tightly. Repeat the same with the second leg. After that bring both threads out from one stitch, pull tightly and knot them. Cut the threads and hide the knot in the body.
Sew the wings onto the back of the body, at rnd 19-20 With a thin make-up brush and a dark-grey eyeshadow you can add some colour onto the eyepatches. Paint shades of grey around the eye and smudge it with your fingers to create a colour gradient With a black cotton yarn you can sew a small navel onto the belly. With a pink blush and a brush you can also add some cheeks under the eyes.
