Finishing

Sew the completed ears to the head.

Sew the arms, head, legs and the tail to the body. Pay attention to the correct position. Before you
start to sew, fix them with pins and find the correct position. Small hint: Even if it means more work,
it is better to sew the parts for the Amigurumi with a cotton thread in the same color. If a part is not
on the right place, and you find this out at the end looking at your Amigurumi, it will be easier for
you, to correct that.

If you want to know more about lemurs, then please have a look over on the side of the WWF. There
is a nice article about these wonderful but endangered animals. Use the search function WWF and
lemurs or go to http://www.wildmadagascar.org/wildlife/lemurs.html
