Instructions

    • 1

      Fill two pairs of pantyhose with fiberfill. Tie closed the top of pantyhose with thread.

    • 2

      Tie thread around the middle of each leg to create a joint.

    • 3

      Sew the legs to the back of the sweatshirt. Secure two legs to each side under the shirt arms to create four legs. The child’s arms and legs are the other four legs.
