4. Sew the beard to the lower part of the face, covering the chin and mouth area.
5. Embroider eyebrows above the safety eyes using black yarn.
6. Assemble the coat: Sew the side seams of the front panels to the back panel, then sew the shoulder seams. Attach the sleeves to the armholes.
7. Dress the doll in the coat. Secure it with a few hidden stitches if desired.
8. Embroider colorful patches onto the coat sleeves: use Red and Green yarn for one sleeve (e.g., a simple criss-cross or square stitch) and Yellow and Green yarn for the other.
9. Sew the umbrella handle to the inside of the umbrella top. Place the finished umbrella in the doll’s hand and secure with a few stitches.
