Embroidering the mouth & the eye lashes: Thread your embroidery floss / thread on a yarn needle and follow photos for facial placement. I am using DMC cotton perle black colour embroidery thread, shade number 310 and thickness number is 3. You will need 50 cm / 20 inches long thread to embroider the whole facial parts.

Insert your needle from the open bottom of the head. Leave a 5 cm / 2'' long tail dangling out. Bring your needle out from the hole numbered as 1. Insert the needle into hole numbered as 2 & come out from number 1. Go in & out number 1 & 2 three times.
Info :
Your needle is now coming out of the hole numbered as 1. Insert it into the hole numbered as 2, but bring it out from the middle hole in between number 1 & 2. Insert the needle down into the third hole to create straight / vertical bar. Then bring the needle out from the hole numbered 4.
Info :
Insert the needle into the hole numbered as 5 & bring it out from the hole numbered as 6. Insert the needle into the hole numbered as 7 and bring it out from the open bottom of the head. Make a couple of tight knots to secure the facial parts. Cut the excessive thread tails. All done. Ready to sew head & body together.
Info :
Sewing head & body together: Put a little more stuffing inside the head before sewing. Start sewing the head and body together and stop half way to add stuffing as necessary. Finish sewing and then fasten off.
