Using black yarn, embroider a line from the bottom of the nose down to create the mouth line and chin accent. ​Eye Indentations & Eyebrows: To recreate the realistic look in the photo, use a tapestry needle with black yarn to pull gently from under the eye through to the back of the head to sink the eyes slightly into sockets. Embroider soft, raised eyebrow ridges just above the eyes. ​Ears: Sew the ears symmetrically on top/sides of the head, set slightly back from the eyes. ​Head & Body: Attach the head securely to the 18-stitch neck opening of the body, adding extra stuffing before sealing. ​Front Legs: Sew vertically and parallel onto the front of the body. ​Back Legs: Attach the back leg pieces horizontally onto the lower sides of the body to form the seated posture. ​Paw Details: Thread black yarn through the front paws to pull 3 indentation lines on each paw to form distinct toe segments. ​Tail: Sew centered onto the lower back of the body.
