9. Pair of scissors
Cut the fingers and make a triangular cut-out from the palm
Wind the black thread around a cardboard about 3 inches in width to be the doll's hair
Prime your needle with single strand black thread and get the thumb part of the glove. This will become your Coraline's head
Hand sew the hair to the seam from the top part...
....going down to what would be the back side of the head
Cut the hair on the opposite edge of the cardboard
Maintain the partition
Reinforce the attachment of the hair. Do back stitch
Fill the thumb (head) with Mung beans
Lock in the beans inside
Half-fill the fingers with Mung beans
Close the opening by running few stitches
Do the same with the other 3 "limbs"
Mark the points where the extremities and head will be attached to the body
Attach the parts, wrong side out
Invert the torso just before an arm and the head are stitched to it
From the outside, sew the arm
...as well as the head
Fill the torso with Mung beans
Finally, finish attaching the head and arms as you close the opening
Nude Coraline :-D
To make the apron-dress, cut an approximately 10 x 3 inches and another 6 x 3 strips of textile
Fold and sew all the edges for a neat finish
