Assembly
Glue nose onto the center of Pan-san’s head.
Sew on the eyes with backstitches. Make sure you end your stitches at the bottom of the head, then give it a slight tug to give the eyes light indentations (which make for a cuter look).
Sew an upside-down “V” with black crochet thread to form the lips.
Glue on pink brads to give Pan-san a pop of blush on the cheeks.
Sew on the ears.
Sew body onto the head.
Sew on the arms and legs.
Assemble the bag by folding one end to the center of the piece then make backstitches to secure in place. This will be the bottom of the bag. Fold the other end over the top and “button up” with a brad. To create a sling bag look, make sure the strap is passed through Pan-san’s right arm near the neck. The strap should exit at the back of the arm and looped back onto the bag with a knot.
You may lightly trim the surface of Pan-san’s face to give the features more definition
