How to Embroider a Stuffed Animal

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Karen for Expert Village. You want to chose a embroider thread to do the eyes and the nose and the mouth. Now with the sleepy time bear you just want to use black and you are just going to make little curves for the eyes. A little triangle for the nose and then come down with a few little curves for the mouth. So we are going to start with the sleepy time bear face. I'm just going to start a little bit on the outside making the dot the center of the sleepy time curved eyes. Just embroider that with any technique that you want. You just want to make a little bit a line and a little bit of a curve. You can put this one a embroidery hoop if you like but if don't have one you can just do loose stitches just to make a little bit of a sleepy time eye. Then when you finish one you go out through the back and come in at the next position for the second eye. It just makes a little gentle face. We have the two little eyes done the way that you like them and you come down from the back. Come up a little from the side of our where we mark the nose and we are going to embroider a little triangle. If your threads get mixed up straighten them out. Don't pull the threads too tight or it will make the face a little scrunchy and there is our sleepy time bear face. Then we would just turn it over and we would make our awake bear face. "
