How to Pin the Bottom to the Body of a Stuffed Animal

Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Karen for Expert Village. I'm going to show you how to sew on the bottom leg section. Here's the doggy that we've sewed all the way around. We're going to open up the section. You have to push the ear out of the way. You'll open up those legs like that. You see that it looks the same as our leg section. Check to make sure that you have the outside on the outside and the inside on the inside. You're going to just match up those sections and pin them. So pin the feet together and the feet together over here. I guess we can call them the paws. Match up the paws. They should match exactly since we did cut them out of the same. We traced one pattern to the other. We're going to pin also the side area here. This section we're going to leave open. If you want, you can put in a few reminder pins perpendicular to that section. That will remind us not to sew up that section. That's going to be the section that we leave open and this is the section that we're going to sew. In the back where the 2 head sections meet, it's going to join like this. You can put a pin on either side like this just to hold it in place like that. Then in the front section, there's the head, there's the 2 legs, and that's the way it's going to meet and we'll put 2 pins right there. It's always good to put a lot of pins in to hold it in place that way you don't get confused while you're sewing on how to go together. You can see how that's going to work. Now, we'll start sewing. "
