My thought is use sturdy fabric strips (like 1/4” or 1/2” wide) folded and sewn about the edges. Obviously you’d have to snip a bit for the strips to make the curves. Maybe sandwich in some glue too? Might give a good sturdy edge, but I’m not sure.

You know, I do have some other colors of twill and the PVA glue I use for bookbinding dries clear and flexible and is acid free. So I have the components to give your idea a shot. If I sewed the extra fabric on top of the right side of the arms, legs, etc., I'd get a nice border. Only issue there is, I could see that fraying eventually, even with glue. Hmm.
