Stuff bottom then sew to BASE. I suggest using layers of quilt stuffing instead of typical amigurumi fiberfill.


Embroider or pick up stitches to make window frames.
Sew the three layers of the walls together. All the holes should line up to make this a very simple task. Remember the inner two layers are of the same height, but the outermost layer is one row taller.
