Making up the Amigurumi Sushi Roll

Sew up the seams of the top of the sushi, embroider on other features for example green cucumber or avocado, use French knots to make little balls etc.

French Knot video:

Sew up bottom seams and leave small opening on side seam to stuff and add safety eyes (approx. size 6mm) sew on smile (embroidery eyes can also be added instead), finish stu?ing
and sew up all seams.

Additional stitches can be used to help with shaping for example sewing between top and bottom layer can pull in top give better shape.
