Assembly & Finishing Steps ​Attaching Head to Body: Angle the neck extension so it sits under the underside of the head (just behind the muzzle) and sew securely using invisible stitches. ​Ears: Attach ears to the top sides of the head, approximately 3 rows behind the eyes, allowing them to flop downward naturally. ​Front Legs: Sew vertically under the chest area, positioned evenly on both sides. ​Hind Legs: To mimic the seated pose shown in the photo, flatten the upper thigh area and sew them flat against the lower sides of the body, with the paws pointing forward. ​Tail: Sew centered on the lower back of the body, curling slightly upward. ​Facial & Paw Details: ​Eyebrows: Embroider short diagonal lines above the eyes using light tan yarn. ​Chest Patch: Use light tan yarn to embroider or surface-stitch the tan patch on the chest and cheeks as seen in the reference image. ​Mouth: Glue a small piece of pink felt under the snout (or embroider a tongue/mouth line with pink yarn). ​Paws: Thread brown sewing thread vertically around the front of each paw and pull tight to create 3 distinct toe indentations.
