Making Up Body: With right sides in, join row ends to create tail and head, join cast off sections to create back. Turn right side out and oversew the base of the tail, leaving a space that will fit over the bottle top. Place a small bit of stuffing in the head to give a bit of shape. Face: Tie a good knot in the end of some black wool, insert the needle inside the Smoothiesaurus and up through the stuffing to emerge in an eye position. Work a French knot to create the eye. Take the wool through the stuffing and work the other eye in the same way. Bring the wool out on one side of the face, take under the chin and back into the cheek to create a smile. Secure end. Blade: Hold the blade in place on the body and sew in place. |
