Completing the Stuffing
Most of my structural stitching has been on the machine, but the hand sewn part between the legs was done with buttonhole stitch and a sturdy button/craft thread. Stuffed the head and neck and included a fat dowel, filled most of the body, then "engineered" what to do to make the legs rounded, which involved hand sewing a diamond shaped gusset into place. It worked out amazingly well. Just about ready to add some ultrasuede foot pads.
