Tail (BOTTOM) Using “I Love This Yarn" in Ivory Ch 4 R1- Sc across, ch 1, turn. R2- Sc inc across, ch 1, turn. R3- Sc inc, sc 6, sc inc. Ch 1, turn. R4- Sc inc, sc 8, sc inc. Ch 1, turn.

R10 through 70- Sc across, ch 1, turn. Sc around entire tail. Cut yarn with long tail for sewing. Tie off. Whip-stitch the tails together. The Top piece should not lay flat against the Bottom. Cut a doubled piece of Quilt Batting the shape of the tail, and put it in. Now you need to sew the end in a special way so that it fits onto the Body. You sort of fold it like wrapping the end of a box. Please refer to picture for clarity! You do not want to sew the end down! (The one that is sticking up in the photo.) This is what you want it to look like when you are done sewing! It is curved to fit his bum.
More sewing!
Sew the legs to the body, three on each side! Make sure that the Hump of his body is on the top, and equally space out the legs on either side. I pinned mine on before sewing to make them straight. Place the Belly underneath so that you can line them up with the increases and decreases. Sew the very back legs on each side a little lower down. The tail will push them up in the air if you don't. Sew the tail to the behind of him, and make sure the top is facing up, and it is straight with the rest of the body. Sew it all around, even underneath. Sew the Belly to the underside of Appa. It should fit between his legs with the shaping, and along the tail to the tip. Sew it across where the underside of the tail meets the body, so that it doesn't buckle. Pin the neck (attached to the head) to the body, just above the Belly. Check that it is sitting straight, and that it is where you want it. Sew it on. It shouldn't need any stuffing. You are almost done! Stripe: Pin, don't sew, the pieces of felt together at the short edges. Draw out a stripe pattern, and an arrow at the top that fits his body length. Cut it out. Now sew the edges of the felt together to make one long strip that fits him. Sew it along the length of Appa's body.DONE!!!
