front.<\/li>\n<li>Then trace around it again on another part of the felt to make the back.<\/li>\n<li>Use fabric scissors to cut them out inside the pencil lines.<\/li>\n<li>Lay the body pieces on top of each other to make sure they\u2019re exact.<\/li>\n<li>Cut out one dress from the white felt, one shirt from the pink felt, and 1 nose from the orange felt.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><u><img

sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/>Hairbow<\/u><\/p>\n<p>Make a small bow 1\u00bd\u201d wide with the blue ribbon.\u00a0 As you make the bow, twist the ribbon so the dots show from the front.\u00a0 Cut a V out of the ends.\u00a0 To seal the cut ends, gently touch the craft glue along the raw edge.\u00a0 Let it dry.<\/p>\n<p>Using the light blue thread, hand-sew the bow on the head (off to the left a little).\u00a0 Sew it in four places just under the center of the bow so the stitches are hidden.<\/p>\n<p><u>Eyes and Nose<\/u><\/p>\n<p>Use black thread to sew on the button eyes.\u00a0 Glue on the orange nose.<\/p>\n<p><u>Smile and Cheeks<\/u><\/p>\n<p>Lay a copy of the pattern on the face over a light source so you can see through the paper to line up the nose.\u00a0 Use a fairly thick embroidery needle to poke through the smile on the paper and the felt.\u00a0 This makes a faint dot hole pattern of where to sew the smile.<\/p>\n<p>Use 2 strands of the black embroidery floss to back stitch the smile.\u00a0 See <a href=\"https:\/\/yesilovewalmart.com\/embroidery-stitches-back-split-satin-directions\/\">Embroidery Stitches (Back, Split, and Satin) Directions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Use a paint brush to wet a disk of pink watercolor.\u00a0 Gently and carefully brush a small pink circle to make each cheek.<\/p>\n<p><u><img loading=\"lazy\"

sew a 2\u00be\u201d piece of blue ribbon on the back, across the waist, and then finish on the back.<\/p>\n<p><u>Heart Buttons<\/u><\/p>\n<p>Use white thread to sew two red button hearts to the center top of the dress.<\/p>\n<p><u>Ruffle<\/u><\/p>\n<p>Cut a piece of pink ribbon 6 inches long.\u00a0 With pink thread, hand-sew a basting stitch along an edge of the ribbon.\u00a0 Don\u2019t knot it, instead, leave a long tail.\u00a0 This will allow you to pull the thread to gather the ribbon so it looks like a ruffle.<\/p>\n<p>Wrap the end of the ribbon around the back of the dress and sew it down.\u00a0 Pull on that loose thread to make the ruffle as wavy as you\u2019d like.<\/p>\n<p>Then sew the gathered ribbon to the bottom of the dress over the basting stitches.\u00a0 Sew it down on the back &#8211; when you\u2019re to the end and cut off any extra ribbon.\u00a0\u00a0 Knot and trim that loose basted thread.<\/p>\n<p><u>Straps<\/u><\/p>\n<p>Cut two pieces of green ribbon 1\u00bc\u201d long.\u00a0 To seal the ends that will be on the front of the dress, gently touch craft glue along the edge.\u00a0 Let them dry.<\/p>\n<p>Using green thread, sew the glued ends of the green ribbons to the top of each side of the dress to make straps.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10376 size-full\"

sure the curves under the arms line up.\u00a0 Then lay the dress on top.\u00a0 Make sure the bottom sides of the dress line up with the curve of the legs.\u00a0 You should see some of the pink shirt showing above the dress.<\/p>\n<p>Wrap the straps over the pink felt shoulders. \u00a0If the green ribbon on the back shows through the pink felt, trim it a little.<\/p>\n<p>Carefully keeping them in place, lift the shirt with the straps still over the shoulders off the body. \u00a0Turn it over to sew one of the straps down to the back of the shirt.<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re done sewing one strap, lay it back down on the body and line it up again.\u00a0 Then wrap the other strap behind, like you did the first, and sew it.\u00a0 Once they\u2019re both sewn, check it again on the body to make sure it all still lines up.<\/p>\n<p><u><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10377 size-full\"

down on the shirt and body and line it up.\u00a0 Sew the dress to the body using white thread by starting on the side by the ruffle.\u00a0 Sew up to the top and down the other side, stopping at the other ruffle.<\/p>\n<p>Do not sew the bottom of the dress.\u00a0 It will remain loose and not attached to the body.<\/p>\n<p><u>Hanger<\/u><\/p>\n<p>Cut a piece of silver cord 8\u00bc\u201d long.\u00a0 Fold it in half and tie a knot about \u00bc\u201d from the end.<\/p>\n<p>Position that knot on the back of the head with the loop above the head.\u00a0 With white thread, securely sew that

Pieces<\/u><\/p>\n<p>Lay the body on top of the second felt body.\u00a0 Using white thread, sew around the outside of the body to connect them together.\u00a0 Start sewing at the bottom side of one of the feet and go upward.<\/p>\n<p>As you sew, be sure to check the stitches on the back to make sure they are where you want them.\u00a0 Also, hide your stitches under the bow, ribbons, shirt, and ruffle.<\/p>\n<p>Once it\u2019s been sewn along the top and down the other side to the top of the other foot, start putting stuffing inside the head, arms, and upper body.\u00a0 You want it to look puffy but not too stiff.<\/p>\n<p>Continue sewing around the foot and along the bottom of the body.\u00a0 <u>Again, only sew the body pieces together.<\/u>\u00a0 <u>Do not sew the bottom of the body to the bottom of the dress.<\/u><\/p>\n<p>Add stuffing to that foot and the lower part of the body.\u00a0 Sew until just an opening the size of your finger remains.\u00a0 Add the last of the stuffing in the remaining foot and then finish sewing back to where you started and it\u2019s closed.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Yes I Love Walmart\" href=\"https:\/\/yesilovewalmart.com\/\">Yes I Love
