assembly

sew the first pair of arms on the bottom

facing outward towards the front,

centered so the mouse can sit without help.

sew the second pair of arms centered above the legs.

sew the ears centered on the top of the head.

sew the backs of the ears onto the ears so the pink doesn't show through.

embroider the nose and mouth with pink yarn and embroidery thread

on the center of the face, in the shape of a capital T.
