Face
Using C, embroider the nose and muzzle.
Paint the cheeks onto Mimi’s face.
Fabric Bow
Fold the fabric rectangle so you hide the
raw edges, to get a smaller rectangle of
around 4x3cm. Pinch in the middle to
make a bow, and hold in place with a
few stitches.
Making up
- Sew on the bow at the base of the Ear, at
a slight angle. - Sew the Head to the Body. Attach the
Arms to the shoulders, a little to the back of
the Body.
3. Using the embroidery thread, embroider
the claws on the Legs and Arms and a
beauty spot beneath the left cheek.
4. Thread the Liberty cord like a belt,
slipping it through a loop of 1 dc every third
stitch, and tie in a bow to inish.
Do not worry
about setting the eyes
a long way apart: this
is precisely what gives
Mimi her charm
