Tools:
- Embroidery machine with 5×7″ hoop or larger
- Sharp fabric scissors
- hemostats or other turning tool for turning skinny arms
Materials
- Embroidery Thread and bobbin (40wt polyester thread is suggested, bobbin can be the same or use 60wt or 90wt bobbin thread if you like)
- 2 pieces of fabric, one for front and another for the back. The size should match the size of hoop you’re using to stitch your chosen size.
- No-show mesh or other light weight, cut-away embroidery stabilizer
- (Optional) Water or heat soluble topper for the face
- Fiberfill or other stuffing of choice.
- (Optional) Poly pellets or other weighted stuffing material for the base so the ghosts will sit on their own.
- (Optional) pipe cleaner or armature wire to wire the arms for posing.
- Hand sewing needle and strong thread for closing the ghosts, or fabric glue can be used to close the seams.
NOTE on fabric choices: Stretch fabrics such as T-shirt knits or fleece are ideal for this project. You may also use woven fabrics, but it will be more difficult to turn the arms and heads right-side-out with woven fabrics on the smaller sizes.
