Attaching millions of toy pieces together

How in the world do I get all of these pieces to turn into Spiderman?! :spider: :flushed:

This is only my second toy and the first one was only a few pieces and those were easy to attach. But I don’t even fully understand how to attach pieces, really. Also, I have to seam things…and I normally do that inside out. But I’m going to attempt the mattress stitch.

Funny/not funny note: I had to scrap the entire body and feet after I took this picture. One foot was backwards, one leg seam was on the outside, and one leg seam was in the front. NOT PRETTY!

Our friendly neighborhood Spiderman might be the death of me.

These are the most difficult projects to work: the pieces are small, there’s lots of shaping and seaming. You’ve learned so much already and the pieces look good even if not perfect. I’m sure you’ll get Spidey pulled together and ready to swing soon.

Wow, good luck!
If you have some spare swatches to practise mattress stitch seam on that might be helpful, I did a few practise runs before my first real mattress stitch seam and was amazed by the magic of it!
Looking at duplicate stitch and grafting may help with some of the attaching, I try to use the weaving in method which is like duplicate stitch or grafting (following the line of travel ofnthe yarn) whenever I can although it’s not always possible.
You’ll get there one bit at a time. Toys are too fiddly for me, I am amazed at the intricate pieces people like you can produce.
Cheering you on and looking forward to seeing Spidey.
