[NFB-Krafters-Korner] help needed with a project please

Tue Nov 1 16:46:33 UTC 2022

I used to embroider on a nose and mouth.

I would make an equilateral triangle pointing down for the nose.  Then one
vertical stitch comes down from that point to the mouth.  The mouth was two
stitches one at the bottom, going to the left and one to the right of the
stitch coming off the nose.

The nose was several horizontal stitches, starting at the top with the
longest stitch, then the stitch just below and snugged next to the top
stitch was a stitch just a little shorter on each end, keep making stitches
stacked below a little shorter until you have ethe triangle.

I used embroidery floss when I made these.

Kathryn,
My son and I cut them out. They are in 2 pieces kind of like the gingerbread
men that Jill taught us. I did not think about using buttons to make a
smile. I did use a smiley face button on the chest of the bears where your
heart should be. I'll try one with using the buttons and see how it does.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Debbie K.

Hi  Debbie,
You could sew buttons on in a half circle to make  a smile. 
Your Teddy Bears sounds so cute. Did
you cut out your own pattern for the Bear?  Did you have to attach  the arms
and legs separately? I have Knitted A Teddy Bear before and I would like to
make more using a simple pattern with the arms and  legs attached. 
What lucky kids to get your box. 
Happy Creating!
Kathryn

You could also take a contrasting thread and sew a small running stitch in a
smile right onto the fabric.

are the faces made of?  Are they furry, or smooth?  If they're smooth, you
could crochet a few chain stitches and sew them on in a smiley shape.  
Or, in either case, you could cut a smile out of a bit of felt and sew that
on.  Felt would work OK for a nose, too.  Just sew them on good so a little
kid doesn't pull them off and try to eat them.

Subject: [NFB-Krafters-Korner] help needed with a project please Hi, I hope
this request is an appropriate one to send to the list. I certainly do not
want to do anything that would be considered inappropriate.  I have sewn
some teddy bears to go in the operation Christmas child boxes. I have them
all done except the face and stuffing. The bears are 6 inches tall. I
was wondering if I could get    some suggestions on what I might use for
their mouths? I thought about using sequence, but they are just a little to
small for my hands to use any more. I am sewing a smiley face shank button
on the chest where the heart would be. thanks in advance for any
suggestions. 

Debbie K.
