Assembling
By using sewing pins, you can position all parts before sewing them on. This way you can easily move them around until you are happy with how it looks.
Sew the hood to the body. If you indeed kept a bit of space by the stuffed part, you are able to push the body a bit inward for a more natural look. Position the arms and legs and sew those on.
Stitch on a little mouth if you like. You can also add dots to its hood as a variation on this one. Just go wild with this pattern! Have fun!
