Freddie Mercury: the making off (Part 1)

It's been a long time since I wanted to make a felt Freddie Mercury doll. I had its pieces already cut out, but they were abandoned in a box because of  my lack of time. Now, with the resolution of finisihing it, I'm on the task again.

I thought that I may post pictures of the process as well.

This is what  I used:
-A cardboard template (I made one  from a cereal box).
-Felt in yellow, white, dark brown, flesh and red
-Thread
-Scissors
-Sewing Machine.

STEP 1: The head:

I sew two dark brown felt pieces placing the flesh one in the middle and I left a small part without sewing ti stuff it and put the eyes. I made a mistake and I sew all the head with the flesh colored thread. Don't do that, match it, please. 

Before closing I placed the safety eyes and sew his characteristic moustache. I thought that at this stage looked  like Ned Flanders...

STEP  2:  Body:

It was late fot me to sew it inside out and then turn it (the best way to do it)  since I had the pieces already cut for a long time ago. I sew it carefully and the finish product was not that bad. With the body measures I did the shirt and I hand sewed it.

STEP  3: Clothes

The pants were sewn inside out and then turned....and they fit! Woohooo!!

I added two red stripes to the sides:

Now... the jacket... this is going to be challenging...
