Before you stitch the body together you will want to sew on your bits and embroider the eyebrows an mouth, which I used black Red Heart Super Saver to make. After I had everything attached I turned both sides to he wrong side, lined up stitches and did a slip stitch join until almost together then folded it right side out stuffed it and sewed the opening shut.
