Now we will add cardboard into the soil to stabilize and flatten the bottom.

Place the soil onto a piece of cardboard (Pic 1). Trace around the edge (Pic 1). Cut around this outline (Pic 2). Stuff the soil, then place the cardboard into the soil (Pic 4). Your soil won’t look perfect yet, but we will make the middle hole look better later!

Finish off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Sew the remaining stitches closed now and weave in ends. Cut any excess yarn.

Dirt Assembly:

In Brown Tweed Yarn

The middle dirt area will not be sunken in as it should, so we will fix that by sewing around the middle area. First, make a fist and rub your first in a circular motion around the middle dirt area for a few seconds. This will move the stuffing from the middle dirt area.

Place a very long strand of brown tweed yarn on a sewing needle. Insert needle going from the outside lower edge of the soil into the inside of the soil as shown (Pic 1).

1.

Insert needle 1 stitch to the right (Pic 2).

2.

Pull needle out at the bottom edge of the soil, one round above the decreases we made (Pic 3).

3.

Insert needle a stitch or two to the left (Pic 4).

4.

Pull needle out in the inside of the soil as shown (Pic 5), making progress each time pull the needle back inside the inside soil area. Do this until you complete sewing around the soil (Pic 6). Once done, weave in ends and cut any excess yarn.
