Assembly Instructions
For assembling your kitty toy, follow these steps:
Stuff the head with fiber fill and place the safety eyes between Rnds 10 and 11, with 8 stitches between them. Attach the ears, ensuring they are symmetrical with the eyes. Sew the nose with black yarn and then the whiskers with black embroidery thread. Ensure the yarn ends and thread ends are tied securely inside the head. Affix the backings to the safety eyes.
Fill the body with poly pellets (or beans) until about 3/4 inch from the top. Stuff the remaining space with fiber fill. Note: Someone suggested using pantyhose to create a small bag for the poly pellets before putting them into the body, which can prevent the pellets from leaking out if your stitches are too loose. Attach the body to the head, ensuring a seamless transition since there should be an equal number of stitches at each opening.
In my example, I did not stuff the arms or tail before attaching. The feet were stuffed with a little bit of fiber fill. Ensure the symmetry of the limbs before attaching, confirming the feet do not interfere with the balance of your doll when placed on a flat surface. The same goes for the tail.
