Close the top of the head, you should aim for a curved top:
Close it with winding stitches:
Now you should have something like this:
I only put the face on top so that you get an idea. I will sew it later.
Sew the upper part of the body to the lower one, also with running stitches.
Fill it with fleece or with wool roving. Now you will have a surface to appiqué and embroider on!
I haven't got any feedback about anybody following this challenge. Did you write to the address lechner.sara@gmail.com sending me your email address?
Because the challenge is a lot of work for me, if you are not interested there is no point on me showing you the progress of my Santa. I will post the finished Santa when I finish it.
I thought it would be a good idea for the lock down...
I can't figure out how to post my pictures of progress... please instruct what to do.... maybe this is why there are no other comments. Thanks! my santa's face is coming along nicely and now I am doing the body like this step above.
