Attach the muzzle to the head. Mark where you want the eyes to be with pins, place them in their right place on the head and with the distance of 4-6 stitches sew them to the head of your fox.
Embroider eyebrows and a nose with black colored yarn. You can also add eyelashes and mouth if desired. Hide the yarn tails inside the head.
Ears are attached to the head now. Position ears and using the yarn left sew the ears to the head of your amigurumi. Be sure to step back and take a look to make sure they are even. Hide all yarn ends.
Sew the tail to the phone case. Hide all yarn ends.
Sew the fox to the pouch. Now attach the arms to the case. Sew strap to the pouch. Attach the button. Weave in all ends.
