Why bother squaring them up Mrs D? Why not just sew up the neck and arm holes with a contrasting thread in blanket stitch (or invisilby, what ever takes your fancy), stuff the arms with old tights or socks and put a cushion filler in the body. Sew up the bottom to match and you've got a whole heap of memorable torsos to fill your sofas with.

Great for hallowe'en parties and threatening the children with decapitation!
