The skinny ends that are used around the neck might be hard to turn right side out. I used a skewer to gently help push the fabric through.

Use a hidden stitch to close the opening once it is turned right side out.

    I’ve been surfing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be a lot more useful than ever before.
