Instructions:
Step 1:
Flip the sock wrong side out. Fold the heel flat toward the bottom part, then secure it with pins.
Step 2:
Draw a trapezoid on the toe part and two horizontal lines just above the heel. Sew the lines using a thread and needle. Cut the trapezoid shape just above the stitch line.
Step 3:
Put the fillers inside the sock just enough for the head of the cat. Once done, get a thread and needle and sew around the sock where the fillers end. Pull the thread to tighten then tie a knot to secure.
Step 4:
Fill the body of the cat with fillers, then sew the opening.
Step 5:
Make the legs of the kitten by passing the needle through three points all the way up and tightening it.
Step 6:
Sew the eyes on plain white fabric, then cut with a little bit of allowance. The white allowance will be the eyelid of the kitten. Once done, attach them. Pass the needle through the neck, so there aren’t any threads on the back of the head.
Step 7:
Sew the nose and the whisker.
Step 8:
Flip the other pair wrong side out and draw a tail. Sew it all around but make sure to leave an opening. Put some fillers inside of the tail and sew the opening. Attach the tail to the kitten.
Step 9:
Wrap the ribbon around the neck of the kitten.
