Assembly

Sew the head to the body. Ensure it’s centered and secure.
Sew the arms to the sides of the black stripe on the body.
Sew the legs to the bottom of the body.
Facial Details: With Black embroidery floss, embroider a small smile below the safety eyes. Use Dark Brown yarn to add a small horizontal line above the inner corners of the eyes for more detail. With Light Pink yarn, embroider small oval blushes on the cheeks, just outside the eye patches.
Place the hat on top of the panda’s head. You can lightly tack it in place with a few stitches if desired, or leave it loose.
