Materials
For the Fox:
Iris yarn, brown, orange, white.
Sewing threads, white and orange (matching the color of the orange Iris yarn). Optional, but adds texture to the figure.
Embroidery threads – dark brown and white (for eye and nose detailing). You can also use Iris, but I prefer using thinner thread.
For the Crow:
Iris yarn, dark grey and yellow.
White sewing thread.
General:
Monofilament for assembling pieces (optional, I prefer using it because it’s “invisible” and stitches will never be noticeable).
Crochet hook 0.7 (you’ll also need 0.5 for eye and nose detailing).
Wire for the frame and ability to pose the figure.
Polyester fiberfill.
Good mood 🙂

Assembly and Decoration Tips
When assembling, it’s better to first try the pieces on with pins to see how the figure looks.
I recommend sewing with monofilament to make the stitches completely invisible.
On the contrary, it’s better to sew the eyes with dark thread in several layers to avoid showing a hole in the bead.
As you sew the pieces, don’t forget to shape the figure a little with your fingers as if it were made of clay. This way, the stuffing inside won’t clump into one corner, and the figure will keep a symmetrical neat shape.
Don’t rush to give the figure a playful pose and bend the legs during assembly. It’s much easier to sew the arms and legs in a T-pose.
Optionally, add embroidery on the paws, belly, and eyebrows.
