Lightly stuff with fiberfill. ​Assembly and Finishing Touches ​Head and Body: Sew the head securely onto the neck opening (the 24 sc section) of the body. Make sure the head is facing perfectly straight before securing. ​Front Legs: Position the front legs right underneath the white chest area, keeping them close together so the cat stands tall and stable. ​Hind Legs: Place the cat in its sitting position. Attach the wide thigh sections flat against the lower sides of the body, making sure the paws point forward naturally. ​Ears: Sew the ears to the top of the head, slightly curved, following the alignment of the eyes. ​Tail: Sew the tail to the lower center back of the body, curving it gently forward toward the paws. ​Face Details: ​Embroider a tiny inverted triangle for the nose right between the eyes using pink yarn. Pull a line straight down from the nose to create the mouth line. ​You can pull thread through the muzzle cheeks slightly to indent them and create a plumper look. ​Use a needle to thread fishing line or stiff white thread through the cheeks, securing them with a small knot inside to form the whiskers.
