Making up
Insert safety eyes into head, using pictures for placement. Stuff the body and head and sew together. Sew ears to top of head on each side, at the same width as the eyes. Sew belly flat to the middle of the body, then the arms and legs to the edges of it, sewing the arms slightly closer together than the legs so he can sit up. Sew the pink part of the tail to his back. Insert the other end of the pink tail into the grey part and sew on at a slight angle so it curves up. Finish off by embroidering eyes in black on the tail, and in cream embroider claws on his limbs and teeth on the tail.
