Funky Fleecy Robot Scarf

Step 5Sew on the robot and the finishing touches

Sew on the robot and the finishing touches
Now, lay out your pieces again to figure out final placement. I started a few inches up from the top of the fringe. Pin the Body section in place so you don't mess up your placement when you sew it.

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.
