Eyes

You have multiple options to make eyes for your Panda applique. You can use googly eyes, buttons or embroider them. For babies and small children items – embroider the eyes.

Finishing

If you are using embroidered eye patches, embroider them first. Sew the eye patches, ears and nose on the head.

Using black embroidery floss, embroider the mouth.

Block your applique as necessary.

If you are using googly eyes – attach them to the eye patches.
