Getting it together

Now that you have everything set and ready to go, we will now be putting our cupcake together.

  1. Sew the stem and leaf to the top of your frosting
  2. Start the face, embroider your first eye in R10, like a small V shape, each V shape eye should be at least 4 stitches apart. If you don’t embroider, you can also use safety eyes.
  3. Embroider mouth at R8 one row below the eyes and the mouth peak should be at R6.
  4. Sew on your cheeks under each V shaped eye
  5. Stuff your cupcake, then begin to sew on the frosting. Remember the FLO from the frosting, that is where you start to sew from be sure you sew to the BLO of the cupcake body. Continue stuffing as you go, be sure to add a bit to the frosting, so it will pop up.
  6. All done! Look how cute it came out!
