Assembly
1. Line up the sides of the head with the side seams of the body and sew only the back
half of the head onto the back half of the body.
2. Sew arms slightly flattened onto either side of the body slightly below the mouth
opening.
3. Embroider or use felt to make eyes and attach them above the mouth.
4. Sew on eyebrows above the eyes.
5. Back stitch a line around the entire Oogie Boogie for his side seams. It can be long
loose lines. You'll be tacking them down.
6. Go back over with small stitches across the black line around to make the stitches. It
will secure the long lines. Do not worry about making them perfect. You can place
these stitches to hide where your backstitches are.
7. Fold corners to form feet and sew them into place.
8. If needed, sew head point down.
9. Have fun making little creepy crawlies to stuff
inside his mouth!
