Sewing on pie top and pie bottom:
In Tan
Line up the top and bottom piece together. With tan yarn, sew the crust pieces together. To make the crust pieces look more clean, I reinsert the needle into the original insertion area to cover the stitch as shown on Pic 4-6.
Stuff the pie before fully closing. Place the heart in before fully closing.
Smile:
With Black Embroidery Thread
Insert needle in the middle of the mouth, and pull it out where shown (Pic 1). Reinsert needle back into the middle of the smile, and pull out on opposite side as shown (Pic 2). Finally, reinsert needle into the middle of the smile and pull through (Pic 3). Weave in ends.
