The Body

First, wash your hands. You're working with a light-colored cloth so make sure your hands are clean. Now cut out the 'Body' pieces from the template and pin it to your cloth. Cut it out and do it another three times to get four pieces. The cutting job doesn't have to be too perfect.

Take two pieces and place them with their good sides facing each other and their bad sides exposed. As seen here, one piece has been flipped up to show the fuzzier good sides. Pin around one edge of the plushie as shown, keeping the distance of the pins about less than 1 cm from the edge of the cloth.

Take a third piece and pin one of its edges to one of the remaining edges of the two other pieces. Remember to be aware of the good and bad sides of the cloth.

Do that again for the fourth piece.

With two edges remaining, pin them together to form a closed shape. When done correctly, the side with the pins visible should all have bad sides of the cloth showing.
