Assembling the Cat
Take the body piece and sew the corner sides together. This creates the cat’s legs.
Sew the sides together at the other side.
Sew the 3rd leg and add the stuffing. Sew the 4th leg closed.
Fold the head over and sew 2 of the seams. Add stuffing and sew the 3rd seam closed.
To make the ears look more defined, I added a stitching line at the base.
Fold the tail in half and stitch closed.
Sew the tail and head on to the body.
Below you can find some photos as instruction for you.
