Fold right sides of face together, whip stitch up side of head, weave
in and out of sts along top to opposite wide of head, whip stitch down
along side of head, {DO NOT FINISH OFF}

turn head piece inside out and smooth side seams, now stuff loosly and
begin to close with whip st along back of head to cloth
tuck in tails and finish off

**NOTE:
I added a bow (or ribbon) and pulled to give a neck feature, and put bows
in ears, ALWAYS triple knot bows to ensure babies can't open and choke.
