 Look on the photo on the left side!
Make 9 ch and sew it on the head: 3
between ears and 3 on both sides of
the head.
Sew the feet and the arms on the
body.

If you want you can embroider clows

on the pows.
Sew the tail on the backside. And you
can make a navel if you want.
And now your tiger is ready.

It would be great if you`ll send me a picture

of your newborn tiger! 
