ASSEMBLY
• Sew the body to the head, add stuffing to the body as you go.
• Sew the face mask to the head. The last row should line up with the top of the body.
• Sew the belly patch to the body.
• Sew the fin to the top of the head.
• Sew the front of the fin to the fin.
• Sew the tail to the back of the body. It should help balance the Sobble so he sits.
• Sew the arms to the hands.
• Sew the arms to each side of the body. You can add craft wire or pipe cleaner inside of
them if you want them to bend.
• Sew the legs to the feet.

7
• Sew the feet to the body. You can add craft wire or pipe cleaner inside of them if you
want them to bend. If not, you should fold the ‘knee’ on the leg and sew it together.
• If using felt: using a picture of Sobble as a reference, cut two ovals out of white for the
eyes. Cut two smaller ovals out of dark blue for the irises. Cut two small circles & two
small ovals out of white for the eyes (or use acrylic paint over the felt). Cut two more
ovals out of dark blue for the cheeks. Glue or sew the pieces down – the eyes should
slightly overlap the cheeks.
If needle felting: using a picture of Sobble as a reference, create the eyes using white.
Add a smaller oval in dark blue inside each eye for the irises. Create a small circle & oval
out of white in each eye (inside the dark blue). Create two ovals in dark blue for the
cheeks.
• Using black embroidery floss or thread, embroider the mouth as a frown & two nostrils.

CONGRATULATIONS! YOUR SOBBLE IS FINISHED!
