Oh it's okay, black was not the best idea haha. ><
So the triangles at the bottom of the back parts are there to pinch the bottom of the back of the head into a slightly smaller shape. So the cuts are like this: ^ You just put either side of the V together and sew them up to where they meet. Make sure you are sewing them together on the same side of the fabric as the other seam you've already made.
I hope that helps

Ahh it's kind of hard to explain in words, but after you cut the back of the head in half you just sew it back together with the hanging part in the seam. Does that even slightly help? ^_^;

owo ...... You lost me at "just sew it back together with the hanging part in the seam". Could you make another video for it or something some time? XD

yeah I will certainly try to remember to do that next time I do a head like that. I am sure it will come up soon so if I'm working live I will try to remember to let you know

Wow. This was really helpful! Thank you!
I just started to use a pattern similar to this (body is different but head is the same) and I kinda mostly figured it out but your tip about sewing the bangs on first? Absolutely genius! I never thought of that before and it makes it so much easier later on

Oops I added an annotation, I meant to do it as a comment. sorry. I wanted to ask: what kind of iron ons is used for the face? like the t shirt ones?

alright, thanks. did you draw the eyes yourself and then print them onto the iron on?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I used to print them but I hate my printer with a passion so now I draw them. First I do a pencil outline, then I do the color parts in colored pencil. Then I iron them on and I do the black outlines in ink at the end.

oh, thats a really good idea. alright thank you so much

dumb question: what kind of iron ons do you use for the face? Just like the regular ones you'd put on shirts?

This tutorial just saved me like, two steps when I'm sewing hair. Because I used to sew all the way across, then cut, then restitch.
Now I'll just sew to the triangle. Genius.

Sometimes you just need someone else to be like, "LOOK DO IT EASIER." Steve totally did that for me yesterday haha

Yeah, because we as humans don't always pick the easiest way to do things.

This is super well-done! I'll probably be using this as soon as I have money for materials ^_^

Should we be worried about pinning through the iron-on transfers? I've never used them before, is why I ask.
