Finishing:
Using a darning needle and matching colour, stitch the side seam and the bottom of the feet.  Then with constrasting yarn, stitch a face, and a control panel onto your Kare-bot.  Be sure to make it look happy, not scary.  Stuff the Kare-Bot’s legs with fiberfill.  Sew a seam from belt to feet to define the legs.  Stuff the Kare-Bot’s torso. Sew a seam on each side to define the arms.  Sew a seam across the neck to define the head.  Stuff the head area.  Sew the top of the head closed.
