Putting It together

Take your arms and slip them through the holes in the upper part of the body (that you made in round 17 of making the body). Make sure your arms are not twisted and that they are even on both sides.

Next, thread the long tail you left on the arms onto a needle. Sew the hands together, then sew the hands to the body of the dress in a position you like.

After this, turn your angel over so that the back is facing up. Using pearl head pins, pin the wings onto the angel into a position you like. Make sure that the short edges of the wings touch (so there is no gap between the wings). This will make your angel look neater.

When you are happy with the position of the wings, sew them in place using the long tails you left on each wing.

Finally, weave in any ends.
