From the brain slug pattern

You will need 3 of the body pieces, 4 antenna pieces, 1 underbelly and one pocket piece all in green.

You will also need one eye in white.

I used a rotary cutter along with fabric scissors to get the pieces.

On the white fleece, mark the center.

Using black thread.

If you have a free form embroidery foot fill in a small round area a little over a quarter of an inch in diameter at the point you marked. If there is still white showing, colour in with a black felt tipper marker.

Using white thread.

Pin the eye to the middle of the right side of one green body piece then sew it in place getting as close to the edge of the white as possible.

Pin 2 antenna pieces together with the right sides facing.

With you machine needle set to the center position use the right side of the foot along the edge, stitch along the long edge, around the bulb then back along the other edge. be sure to leave the bottom open and remember to lock the ends of the stitching.

You will need your knitting needle for the next bit!

Do not trim the seems and fold the antennae right side out.
