To make the pincushion hat, cut a 6 inch fabric circle. Hand sew a gathering stitch 1/8 inch from the edge. Pull threads to gather, stuffing with fiberfill as you go; knot thread. Apply glue around inside of pot rim. Place the "hat" in the pot with the gathered side facing down. To make the yo-yo flower, cut a 2 inch fabric circle.

Tie a ribbon bow and glue it to the back of the flower yo-yo; trim ribbon ends if necessary. Glue the flower to the hat.
Hi, She is so cute. Possibilities are endless. I was thinking for the hair you could use a steel curly scrubber(oops forgot the name). You could do a cat face, or dog, baby & bonnet! Thanks for sharing.
