— Assembly (Mario) :
Info :
I recommend to use ball point pins for assembly. This way will help you to keep the pieces in place and make it easier to do the sewing. I'm using a hot glue gun to attach some of the parts, but if you make this amigurumi for kids, I recommend to make it fully sewn.
Step 1 :
Sew the body to the head.
Step 2 :
Sew the hair base to the head diagonally like so:
Step 3 :
Sew the left and right collar outlining the beige area on the body like so:
Step 4 :
Attach the uniform to the body. Make sure the front and back "flaps" are in the centre.
Step 5 :
Sew the legs to the lower part of the body, approximately on R4-R7 of the uniform, and about 4 sts in between.
Step 6 :
This step is optional, I inserted a wire through the upper part of the body for the arms. (Not recommended if you make this amigurumi for kids)
Step 7 :
Sew the arms to the sides of the upper body.
Step 8 :
Attach the pocket to the centre of the uniform.
Step 9 :
Attach both straps from the front flap, to the shoulders then to the back flap.
Step 10 :
Attach the buttons on the left and right side of the front flap, in front of the straps.
Step 11 :
Sew the ears to the sides of the face, approximately 5 sts away from the eyes, and in the same level of the eyes.
Step 12 :
Place the moustache slightly under the eyes. Don't attach it yet.
Step 13 :
Sew the nose in the space between the eyes, in front of the moustache. Then, sew/glue only the upper part of the moustache (leave the lower part hanging).
Step 14 :
Attach the eyebrows above the eyes as shown in the photo sequence.
Step 15 :
Attach the sideburns in front of the ears and slightly upper.
Step 16 :
Using light blue yarn, embroider a line surrounding the outside half of both eyes like so. Then apply peach/pink eyeshadow/real blush for the cheeks (optional).
Step 17 :
Insert the cap to the head.
