Current Pikachu progress: assembled his head and ears last night!.. and then had to undo days of embroidery work around his eyes and cheeks because his face was far too high up his head. Insert noises of inarticulate rage.

Although now, his face is roughly in the correct spot; I just have to re-embroider it, as well as fix Shirochu's face (didn't embroider anything on hers yet, thankfully). Still would be nice if I could consistently make forward progress on these sewing projects.

Would it help to do the embroidery on a separate piece of fabric or interfacing then attach it to the critter? Or next time put safety pins or stitch markers where you think the face will go then assemble it?

Using pins did help with later attempts, but the problem was more that the pattern piece for the face seemed to mark Pikachu's eyes, nose, and mouth in a much higher place than they actually needed to go, which threw everything off. (If that makes sense.)

(To clarify: Pikachu's eyes and cheeks are made of fleece; by "embroidery", I meant satin-stitching around the edges.)

I'm still in the process of pre-writing some "reviews" for some of my Kelly dolls for when I eventually start posting them here, and as I was cataloging one of the fashion packs I have, I realized I actually have the two other pairs of shoes that are shown on the back but aren't included in the set, which is cool, because one of them is a VERY particular shade of blue that wasn't super common.
