Assembly
1) Sew the arms on. These get sewn directly under the head
2) sew on the legs. How you sew the legs on is up to you. I wanted this monkey to be in a standing position so I sewed them on in a way the doll stands up.
3) sew on tail
4) sew on the muzzle (top of muzzle should sit just above the 10th or 11th row).
5) add eyes to the eye patches then sew the eye patches to the head.
6) sew on the ears (between the 8th and 12th row). Pin them in place before sewing them in helps.
