Attaching Parts

Sew ears to the top of the head on each side. I like to sew them on so they're slightly curved like a satellite dish.


Sew arms right next to the head, reaching out, and sew legs on either side of the bum.



Sew the tail right in between the legs, higher up on the top of the bum.
