Stuff the rest of the head and sew the rest of the hole shut. Fasten yarn and cut loose ends.
Embroider eyelashes and eyebrows, tint the cheeks. Sew the arms and legs in place.
Tip, place the arms centered from the side so both front and back of doll is equal, then you can embroider 2 faces and the doll can have 2 moods. The legs are sewn in place using the space that is made from the starting chain of the body.
Tip, when making the hair, test it on the dolls head to make sure you can take the hair of and put it back on, it shouldn’t fall of and I shouldn’t be too hard to put on, if that is the case adjust by changing hook size.
