Sweet, shy, traditional yet robotic!
Sweet, shy, traditional yet robotic, Geisha captures hearts whether she's perching on your desk or taking care of your keys. The fine details give this bot her charm - tiny sandals on her feet, a neat and elaborate hairstyle finished with carefully tied threads, and delicately drawn features. For such a tiny bot, you'll find it easier to assemble the pieces using sewing thread and a small needle, rather than yarn.

Step 7
To Assemble Geisha

Getting the happy, tranquil expression of Geisha just right is important, so take care while stitching the face. Start by stuffing the head firmly with scraps of fiberfill. To help you place the eyes, you can draw them with an air erasable pen, making sure that they are level on the face.
Step 8
Using two strands of black floss, straight stitch the three little hairs of the fringe.
Step 9
Thread your needle with two strands of red floss and embroider the mouth, making a diamond shape with four tiny straight stitches. The cheeks are made with French knots.
Step 10
Gently squeeze the head into the hair cap. Stuff the buns and sew them onto the sides of the head with leftover tails of yarn. Using black sewing thread, making a few tiny stitches around the hair cap to secure the hair to the head.
Step 11
Stuff the body firmly. Using the metallic gray floss, chain stitch the kimono belt and its diagonal closure. Stuff the head and sew to the body with the remaining tail of yarn.
Step 12
Stuff the feet and embroider the shoe details with two strands of white thread, using two straight stitches to make a V shape. Attach feet to body using black sewing thread.
Step 13
Stuff the arms and sew them onto the body with sewing thread in the color of the dress.
Step 14
Finally, tie threads that match the color of her dress around Geisha's hair buns.
