I want to make a white belly - measure the pocket length to see how big the belly will be. pocket is : 12in - i still want to be able to access the pocket :3

Now measure up and down : 20in from middle - top to bottom of front pocket why:? Because we are going to cover this with a cute curvy white belly

I then measured the middle doing it by eye to see how far I need to curve top to bottom creating the sides 7 1/2 will be my center point.

Cut out ur white fleece & it should look like this :3 the bottom aligns with pocket seam. This will be like a ruler to keep the bottom straight. Have the top point in the middle of the neck

This is where we need to access the pocket. We will take the glue and skip this area when gluing the white down onto the donkey belly.

Glue time ! This stuff is magical. Go ahead & start gluing using the tip as a brush. Glide the glue with a thin layer on top of the opening of the pocket. This way u can still have access.

Should something like this - i start here so that after i press down i can glue everywhere else except above the pocket hole. Otherwise ur hand can't get in if u glue the whole white down kekeke :3

Tada ! Invisible belly pocket :3 now start gluing the top of the pocket to the white so it really disappears and the rest of the belly down. For the other side of the pocket do the same.

Example for the left side.  Remember in my nyan cat i said to not make blobs anywhere instead smooth them out with the tip of ur glue to make layers otherwise the glue could seep through.

Here's an example after u have pressed down and it dried a little. Anywhere else u think needs to be glued down go for it :3

Here's an example of the top part of the pocket with the white fleece glued down. I stuck my hands in so u can see where to not apply glue. Now glue going up to the top. Thin layers along the edges.

Take the white fleece and fold it <--- this way u can save time and cut two pieces instead of one each. I measured 7 in top to bottom and with just an eye, created my own curve.

Now take ur donkey inside ear and place it on top of the outside donkey grey fleece. I used the white as a pattern. Measure 1 in away all around the white. That's where we'll cut the outside pieces.

Here's an example of how I do my patterns and cut outs. U can see when u get ur fabric, its already folded making a 2 ply (piece) when u cut.

Take two pieces of the outside and place the white inside on top. We are going to glue the white onto this making this our "top" of the ear.

When it is dry (like 5 mins) flip the top of the ear and place it on the top of the grey back ear piece like so / do the same for the other ear

U can see the thickness compared to a one stem :3 this should do the trick. Do this to the rest of them

After u have ur twisting done, we have to connect two together and another two together. Like so.  Think of this like the ear bone oooo

It's a bit too long so i went ahead and cut some off the bottom. We need to be able to see the ears later.  After u made ur bones for each ear and cut them have someone put on the hoodie.

While someone is putting on the hoodie, take the white fold & cut out a 7in wide mouth (2 piece) again i did the curve by eye. To have the same curve on the otherwise, I folded it and then cut it out

Now take the grey fleece and cut the width of the mouth 7in and cut up again i did the curve by eye. Lay it on top of ur model & align the bottom seam to make it straight. Find a center point and mark

When sewing, move with the thread. Im doing a 3/4 seam. When I start I sew about 1 inch and then reverse and sew forward. Slow down when u get near the tip of the ear

Yeah near the tip slowed down and let the needle stick all the way through when ur at the tip. Ur then going to lift the foot (the part holding down the fabric) and pivot the ear to the other side wee
