Finishing

Sew on the cheeks using the yarn needle, then embroider on the smile between the eyes, using black embroidery thread, and the main image as a guide.

To make the side indentation, take the long tail and thread it up through the middle of the peach.

Bring the thread down on the outside of the peach, just to the left of the face, then pull until you’re happy with the indentation.

Sew firmly to the base of the peach.

Thread the stalk down through the peach from the top to bottom. Attach and hide the ends, then repeat with the leaf.
