"Hi, I am Candi Cane-Canncel with Expert Village. I am just going to load my needle with some matching thread. Then I am just going to do little invisible stitch which is nothing more than sticking your need in to the seam and pulling it up. And you basically stick it back in where you pulled it up and grab some of the fabric on the other side and you are just basically just sewing inside the seam. Insert your needle where you last had it and come up through the other side. Sometimes you can get tangled around these little legs here. And you just keep going until you have stitched up your little hole where you used to stuff your doll. So we stitched the bottom closed and what we are actually going to do now is stitch her little legs a little bit closer together. That way it is more like a doll. It?s kind of looking a little lobster like. So you just kind of scrunch them and you take your needle and thread and just put, just scrunch them and then take your need and thread and just tack it up a little bit. And this just keeps the doll, gives it a better shape. Just want to make sure that you tie it off with a pretty secure knot. One more knot, take my needle out. And there we have our little doll. So the next step is we are going to add some decorations to her face."
