I am fairly proud of this, but I made the mistake of not using a single piece for the back and the foldover.  But it's all trial and error no?  And I'm aware that the foldover's uneven.  I'll have to work on that.    -____-

The divider inside.  

What kind of stitch should I use to cover up the fabric that's flappy?  I mean near my index finger.  Overlock?
When I'm stitching more than one fabric at once, like 2 at a time, should I increase tension or decrease it?
How do you guys use a sewing machine for stitching velcro?

TIA
I had also made some plushes for my boyfriend for valentine's day but I forgot pictures.  I'll post when I get the chance!
