TAST #8 Chain Stitch for the body

#111 Zig-zag Coral Stitch (blue)
# 89 Twisted Satin Stitch (yellow)
Surface Long and Short Stitch (green)

#55 Buttonholed Herringbone (green)
# 28 Oyster Stitch (yellow)

#5 Herringbone Stitch (green)
#3 Feather Stitch (blue)
#4 Cretan (yellow)
# 14 Stem Stitch (white)
Straight Stitch (black)
