MUZZLE
DESIGN

D E S I G N E R - D I A N A P A T S K U N
Sew head to the body.

Place it right in the center. Secure last row

(31st) of the body to the 28th row of the

head with pins.

These rows have 24 stitches each that's why

it will be easier to sew details together at

that level.

Sew details by taking loops of the body first,

then head, alternately.

When we have small hole left, stuff the area

between head and body tight enough, so our

head don't hang out. Then sew details to the

end.
Then sew elephant's trunk previously securing it

with the pins.

Top of the trunk place between rows 18-19 of

the head. Bottom of the trunk must come in

contact with the body. Trunk must look down.

Sew details neatly by taking loops of the trunk

first, then head, alternately.

Decorate ear for Option 1.

Fold the fabric in half. Attach ear to the

wrong side of the fabric and carefully

draw it around the contour.

You can also pin it in the middle so that

fabric does not slip.

Cut out the contour with the pinking

scissors. We'll get two identical details

in this way.

Sew fabric to the ears with the sewing

thread, bending it before.

Iron well. Ears are ready.

Secure ears on the head with the pins.

Neatly sew ears to the head.

Next, sew the eyes. Take black sewing

thread folded twice and a needle.

Choose the location of the eyes on your

own.

Embroider lashes near eyes with same thread

and above eyes - eyebrows.

Embroider 3 stripes on the elephant's trunk.

Hind legs will be sewed with thread joint as

shown on the picture.

Take very thick and strong thread, you can

fold it in half, and long sewing needle.

You can go through with the elephant's

details several times (3-4), not once as

shown in the picture. After each time try to

pull up the thread.

Do not pull the thread through the leg to the

outside, just grab a part.

Tighten the strands in the end so that the

hind leg doesn't hang out, and tie into the

knots several times.

Hide yarn tails inside the body.

You can watch video tutorial how to sew

hind legs on YouTube:

https://youtu.be/L22Hr9qPrsw
Place front legs on the sides of the body.

Secure them with pins.

Sew them to the body.

Sew cone cap to the head previously

stuff it with fiber and secure on the

head with pins.

 SKIRT
TAILORING

D E S I G N E R - D I A N A P A T S K U N
Take following pieces of fabric:

Main fabric 12 cm х 25 cm/4,7 in х 9,8 in

For frills (2 pcs) 6,5 cm х 50 cm/2,6 in х 19,7 in

Bend about 2 cm/0,7 inches in the bottom of main fabric and stitch it.

Sew sides of main fabric.

Finish bottom edges of both frills in any technique you like (zig-zag, blanket stitch etc.) About

0,5 cm/ 0,2 in from the top of each frill make wide stitches along the entire length. You can do

it on sewing machine or by hands.

Pull thread to the length of main part of the skirt. Fix the frill with knots. Distribute folds evenly

along the entire length of the frill and stitch ones more with smaller stitches to secure folds. Sew

sides of frills as well.

Draw lines for sewing frills on main fabric:

Top frill will be sewed on the distance 1 cm/0,4 in from the top of main fabric.

Bottom frill will be sewed on the distance 5 cm/1,96 in from the top of the main fabric.
Pin ready skirt to crochet top of the dress on the body and sew them together with the thread

same shade as the yarn.
