Assembling instructions
Position the cabin onto the deck between rows #11 -24. Start sewing the last rnd of the cabin to the deck as shown in the picture below. Once you’ve attached the first two sides, pause, and start sewing the other parts to the cabin.
Sew the funnel to the top side of the cabin.
Sew the round windows to the cabin right and left sides and the oval window to the front one.
Sew the door to the back side of the cabin. Embroider the door handle with yellow yarn.
Stuff the cabin firmly and finish sewing it onto the deck.
Place some stuffing into the boat and position the deck on top of it. Start sewing the last rnd of the deck to the interior side of the boat between rnds # 5-6 (below the white round). F/O, cut the yarn and wave in end.
