Assembly

Position the head onto the body, centering the cheeks, and sew securely. Attach the ears to the top sides of the head, allowing them to hang down. Stitch the arms on either side of the body just below the neck seam. Pin the legs to the bottom front of the body for a seated position, then sew them in place. Sew the tail to the lower back. Embroider sleepy eyes with downward-curving lines and a small triangular nose. Add a surface slip stitch down the center of the pajamas to mimic a button-up front, then scatter and secure white polka dots across the pajamas and nightcap.
