Sally

 Time for Sally to join the rest of the Nightmare Before Christmas crew! 

You can download the pattern pieces HERE or screenshot from the bottom of the post.


The eyes are attached with a black stem stitch outline. The lashes are side by side straight stitches. I did an extra layer of black stem stitch at the top of the eye to make a thicker line.

Scars are black stem stitch with uneven straight stitches. The nose is blue stem stitch. The lips are red satin filled then outlined in stem and the pupils are big old french knots. 


I attached the top of Sally's hair with a red back stitch. Add the back of the head with a light blue blanket stitch and stuff before you close the top. Use a red blanket stitch to add the long hair. Don't' forget to add a hanging loop at the top.


Use black stem and straight stiches for more scars then close up the back of Sally's torso with a light blue blanket stitch. For the dress top pieces, use a black cross stitch to attach the two pieces then black stem for the swirls.
I stuffed Sally's torso a little bit then glued the dress top in place. You can stitch it down if you prefer.
Blanket stitch the bottom of the dress pieces closed and stuff before closing all the way.
I glued Sally's neck to her head but this could also be stitched on if you prefer.
I also glued her hair down to the back of the dress.

Time to add Sally to the Tree!!!
