Start by sewing the white nylon onto the black face. Use small, tight stitches all the way around the facial features. I used the applique stitch feature on the sewing machine. Well, my mom did - I watched.

Next, sew the black face onto the green front of the head. Again, sew close to the edge to minimize flaps. Little toddler fingers love tearing at flaps of fabric! A machine applique was used for this, too.

Now you may sew the square panels together. By hand or using a sewing machine, sew as accurately as you can along the line. Remember, this Thingamaplush is a robot and the goal is for it to be a cube! On the back panel, only sew along the top and halfway down each side - you'll need access for mounting the electronics.

When the head is sewn, turn it right-side out.
