Toast (any pronoun)

Stoat by Dowman, bought from a shop in Edinburgh in January 2023.

I decided to modify the position of this stoat's tail. Progress pics below!

The tail's original position seemed a bit high on the rump, as if coming right from the stoat's lower back. I decided to move it down a bit.

I carefully unpicked the seam that the tail is sewn into, removed the tail, then continued opening up the seam a little further down the butt (pardon the indecent image...)

Then, starting from the bottom, I begin to ladder stitch the hole closed again. After the first few stitches I start to include the tail, passing the needle through it each time I move back and forth between the two sides, until it is secured in a seam again.

Then I continue the ladder stitch up the back until the hole is closed, and we're done. Still a perky tail, but growing from a slightly more tail-like spot, and making the stoat's back look a little longer! I made it flop to the left too, the same way the stoat is looking, which I thought looked nicer.

I thought of a good name for this stoat... Toast!

(Don't worry, I did remember to remove the stoat before adding cheese and placing under the grill.)
