Filling

Stuff into the head with the polyester fiberfill through the opening of the neck.

Not stuff into the neck.

Make the neck

It needs 2 covers -- "skin" and "under skin".

The facial pattern doesn't contain seam allowance.
Add seam allowance of 0.5cm to the seam line. Top and bottom have no margin.

Turn inside out.

Wrap the base of head with the under skin.
Pull fabric and remove a sag.

Fit the crown of the head and pin the hem.
Stitch the hem of under skin to the base of head with thick thread.

Wrap with the skin fabric, too. Don't stitch yet.

If you mind the wrinkles of face-line, glue a little cotton batting on the seam.
