🧵 Assembly & Finishing
- Stuff the head firmly to give it a nice rounded shape.
- Add weight to the lower body using plastic pellets or small stones for stability.
- Lightly stuff the remaining parts—arms, legs, and tail—so they stay soft and flexible.
- Sew all parts securely:
- Attach the head to the body
- Position arms slightly forward for a relaxed pose
- Attach legs evenly for balance
- Sew ears symmetrically on top of the head
- Add the tail to the back
Finally, embroider the face using pink and black floss. Take your time here—small changes in eye placement or mouth shape can give your cat a completely unique personality.
