Step 5Sew on the robot and the finishing touches
Body: I sewed the robot body to the fleece using somewhat of a blanket stitch ( Futuregirl has a good tutorial on that ), with gold floss.
Note- this took the longest, and was pretty simple once you get the hang of it, but if you've never done it, practice on your scraps first.
I did a simple stitch across his neck line to define the head.
Arms: I used white floss to sew arms directly to the brown fleece. No fancy embroidery here, just made it up as I went along.
Hands: I placed the balls for the hands over the ends of the arms where I thought they looked good, and sewed them on using the gold floss, similarly to the body.
Final touches: Added "ears" and antenna with gold, and lightning bolts in green.
Note:
Since this was a quick gift for my two year old, I didn't finish off the back, so you can still see the stitching on the back side. For a more finished look, you could double the thickness and back it with another piece of brown (or contrasting colored) fleece, or any other fabric you like.
