Ok, one last thing we need to put on the face of our baby is our mouth. I usually like to
do a smile. You'll need a length of thread, I always double mine over about that long.
It's always a good idea to double it and then just knot it on the end because it just makes
it stronger. If you're not confident on it, feel free to pencil it in. I tend to just
kind of throw mine on because, if it's a crooked smile, I think that's ok. But what I do, is
just go ahead and work your way across and I usually go ahead and leave those gaps, in
between, because then when I get to the end, I turn around, and go back over the spots
that are left open and so it makes for a constant line but that way you're not pulling out your
other stitches, whereas, if you tried to do it the other way, that's what would happen.
It's just a matter of trying to come up right where your other stitch was, so it looks nice
and even. One more. Now obviously you'll be doing this on your rag doll mouth, not on
a scratch piece or a scrap piece of material and you'll get something like this, or if
this was my more crooked one, that I did in a jiffy, but they all work just fine.
