 Assembly
Head to the body: Using the tail from the body we are going to
attach the head of the ninja turtle to the body. TIP: I use 4mm
knitting needles to help keep my attachments in place whilst I
sewing them on. Sticking a needle through the head into the
body.
Sew all around the head until you are happy and it’s secured.

Arms to the body: OPTION 1: Using the same method with the knitting needles I position my
arms in place on ROW 2 under the neck. Sewing the top half of the arms until secured.
OPTION 2: Using the same method with the knitting needles, I position my arms on
ROW 2 under the neck. Sew all the way around the arm until secured.
OPTION 1 OPTION 2

Shell to the body: Using the same method, secure your shell onto the body with knitting needle. Using
the back loops of the last row sew half way around the shell. Stuff lightly and continue sewing around
until secured.

Belly to the body: Once again using knitting needles to
