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.
