Mimi warns that attaching the arm is hard to explain, but easy to do! To attach arms to body, fold felt 1/4-inch to the inside at top of each arm. Pinch opening closed so arm seam is in the middle as pictured above. Stitch across opening using whipstitch. Don't cut thread. Pinch top of arm into v-shape. Poke needle and thread from arm through dots on both sides of torso and then back through other side of V on arm. Repeat several times until arms is securely fastened to torso. Tie off under arm, poke needle back in and out of torso and snip end. Repeat for other arm. Attach Legs Note: Mimi warns that you may think its nuts to use such a long piece of thread for this step, but we promise you will need it! To attach legs to body, cut a 40-inch piece of silk embroidery thread (or nylon upholstery thread). Warning: Only silk embroidery thread or nylon upholstery thread are strong enough for this step! Arrange pieces on flat surface as follows from left to right.... button, left leg, torso, right leg, button. Make sure toes are pointing up! Thread needle, double the thread and tie two ends together. Put needle through left button, left leg at dots, torso at dots, right leg at dots, and right button. Pull thread through enough to make it all the way back, but leave at least 6 inches of thread on side you started from as pictured below. Go back through everything in reverse. Note: Leave approximately 1/16-inch between first thread trail and second so thread doesn't catch on itself inside. Pinch hips and legs, pull thread tight and tie in a square knot (for help with a Square Knot, click here). Note: If tied tight enough, doll should sit up by itself.
