To Form The Pouch:
Fold in half, leaving a 2˝" flap (if necessary, pin in place to prevent shifting). Turn so that the back of pouch is facing you with the flap on the left. Attach black yarn with a sl st in the fold. Now, working along edges to form the pouch, continue as follows:
Row 1: Working through both thicknesses, sc along the edges of Row 1 of pouch, until you have only 1 thickness (flap). Continue sc-ing along flap sides and top, making 3 sc in each corner on flap (to prevent curling). Working through both thicknesses again, sc on opposite side of pouch, matching first side. Fasten off and sew in ends.

Sew velcro into place forming a small flap and leaving enough space for placement of the eyes and cheeks. Using photo as placement guide, sew buttons (eyes) and cheeks onto pouch below the flap. Sew in all loose ends. Enjoy! :) :) :)
