Now to add a lining so the stuffing will stay in the head and the baby won't get scratched by all of the open seams.



My head lining was a fail, so I need to offer better advice.

It seems obvious to me now that you need to but a hood shape into it. At the moment of execution, though, I was baffled. Consequently, there wasn't enough room for baby's head and we had to make an emergency field operation.



Cut a hood shape out of some fleece (or knit, something soft), and seam along the center back.



To line the body, I turned the bear inside out and pinned fabric all along it. I cut off the excess and created one large dart along the heiney area.



To finish, use a smallish whipstitch. You could get this under your machine, but I thought it might be more hassle than it was worth.



I also sewed a circle of felt behind the belly.
