How to sew a snowman from fleece: instructions

Everyone knows that they make a snowman, rolling snow balls, and put them on top of each other. Our snowman will consist of 2 balls.

2. Now you need to map the wedges on each ball.
3. The next step - stitch on a sewing machine or sew every detail with your hands, but only on one side.
4. We make two main parts of the toy - 2 "snow globe". To do this, add 2 parts and stitch. It is important that they fit together. Do not confuse the details! Stuff with cotton and get the ball.

• Do the same with the other ball. Sew the balls together in the desired sequence. There is a blank for a snowman. This is its main part!

If you can make eyes out of cardboard - please! Do not forget to paint them beautifully and glue to the head of a snowman.

• We sew loose limbs. The next step will be the manufacture of arms and legs for our toy (although you can do without it). For this you need a white cloth. We fold it in half. Cut out with a margin on the seams. Stitching and wadding. Gently fasten the arms and legs on the body of a snowman.
