Making teddy- his head
I managed to get started sewing. I got the gusset sewed to either side of his head, attached his ears, and sewed the back of his head onto the front. I also used some nice safety eyes. These really made his face better. I have to do his nose yet, but enough for tonight! He really is turning out cute already! I am so pleased. This is an easy pattern to use and the material I chose is working quite well. The safety eyes are eyes with a screw type plastic piece in the back. This is all one piece, so nothing can be pulled apart. The eyes are put into a small hole you make in the material, the shank is pushed through to the wrong side, then you put a plastic “nut” onto the shank and push it tight until it meets the material. This wedges the material between the two pieces of the eye. I tried to pull it apart and that isn’t going to happen.
