Cross Stitch - Watermelon Biscornus

Finished the Water Melon Biscornus.

A watermelon is my one of favorite fruits.

Front side is half of one and back side is four slices..

It's not easy to stitch almost whole front side with with red color. But, after finished it seems to be deliciously ripe. :)

Tower of Biscornus :)

I have crafted four biscornus. Above are three of them.  

Rilakkuma

I made this to give my niece, 8-years old cute girl as a gift. She loves RILAKKUMA, a fancy character. He is very chic and does not smile brightly to anyone. :)

I picked this among many images searched in internet because, i think, it is very cute and the most simple to make chart, in addition.

Finishing Instructions

To begin you will prepare a strap or libon. I made ​​it as twisted with three threads.

Before darning stitching the pieces together, finger press along backstitched line.

Darning stitch all the way around until 2~3cm remain.

Carefully stuff your Rilakkuma using regular craft filling or fiberfill. Just before last 2~3 cm are stitched closed you can check the fullness of your Rilakkuma and readjust the stuffing.
