PUTTING HOUSE TOGETHER:
For the sides cut two 2-3\4” X 4” pieces of cardboard. The cardboard is shorter than the crochet pieces so when you sew a pair of house sides tog there will be 2-3 rows free. Sew down to these free rows and across bottom of the cardboard. The free rows make the flap you needed to sew to inside the dog’s body for the house to stand up. Make 2 sides this way. Sew tog at long edges keeping free rows free.
Find the center of the dog’s body by folding it in half. Place the seam of house at that point laying flaps out straight onto suede crochet piece. Pin in place and make sure house will fold inside and lay flat when the two sides of the dog are placed tog. Sew in place.
Sew the gusset bet the two pieces of roof at long edges. Sew center triangle bet roof pieces at short ends and
