Draw the mouth on the face (opposite of where you gathered the fabric) and, coming from the back of the head, backstitch to embroider where the mouth is.

The Cloak

For my cloak, I cut off part of an old pant leg and glued one side of one end to the top of the head. Then, I glued the other side of the same end to the bottom of the head. (If it's easier for you, you can put a dab of glue between where your thumb will be and the bottom of the head).

Ta-Da!
