Assembly
Sew ears on top sides of the head.
Attach arms and legs evenly for balance.
Sew tail to lower back.
Embroider a small pink triangle nose.
Add whiskers with white yarn (3 on each side).
Optionally, embroider tiny white lines above the eyes for extra cuteness.
Final Notes
For added cuteness, consider using slightly oversized eyes. Always keep your stuffing firm but avoid overstuffing to maintain shape. Pin all pieces before sewing to ensure symmetry, and use invisible stitches for a clean finish.
