Assembly
Head and Body:
1. Pin the head to the body for extra support. You may need to add more stuffing when sewing.
2. Sew the head to the body.
Arms:
1. Pin the arm at an angle facing forward. There are no particular lines where I put them, as it depends on how you fill, shape, etc. it’s best to judge how you want them.
2. Sew the arm to the body.
Legs:
1. Turn the body upside down with the nose facing away from you.
2. Attach the legs to the bottom of the body.
There are no special lines for this, it just depends on what look you want. I don’t put mine between any special lines. I just judge based on the look of the individual doll.
3. Sew the legs to the body.
Ears:
1. Pin the ears to the top of the head. I don’t have certain lines where I place these. Since they are handmade, I can never stuff the head exactly the same way twice. I just place the ears where they look best on the head above the judged eyes on each individual doll.
2. Sew the ears to the head.
Embellishments:
1. Embroider some eyebrows with black thread.
2. Add some blush to the cheeks if desired.
