Instructions for putting pincushion together

 

  1. Take one large doll body and position face background fabric as pictured.

  2. Using some of the pink cotton, blanket stitch background across front of doll body.

  3. Peel backing from doll face and using brown cotton, stitch a face similar to what is pictured.

  4. Place doll face in position on doll body & background, take a clean sheet of white paper to cover face and iron on a warm setting to fuse the dolls face to body.

  5. Peel backing from apron fabric and cover with sheet of white paper. Iron with warm setting to fuse.

  6. Repeat this above process with the Apron strap

  7. Take a long length of pink cotton and blanket stitch around the doll leaving an opening to place stuffing in. (Do not tie off cotton, leave it so you can continue to stitch once doll has been filled.)

  8. Once doll is filled (it may be easier to break filling into smaller pieces) continue to stitch opening closed.
