Now it is time to sew
each part to it´s place.
Continue with sewing the eyes, you can
emroider the nose, eyelashes.
I have crocheted a string from chain stitches
and used it as a strap around the skirt.
With a darker blue yarn you can embroider
laces on the shoes.
The kitty got a ribbon bow around the neck,
too.
And she is finished and ready to dance!
