All seam allowances are 1/8" (3mm)
Arms and Legs:
Remove the pattern from each piece just before you sew. Observing the "leave open" marks, sew all around each piece of the lower arms and lower legs, one at a time. Clip the curves and angles and turn the pieces right side out. Pin each of the upper legs and upper arms together and sew down each side. Center and pin the front and back seams together at the knee in the upper legs and sew across. Center and pin the front and back seams together at the elbow in the upper arms and sew across. Clip the curves and angles and turn the pieces right side out. You should have two upper legs, two lower legs, two upper arms and two lower arms sewn together out of black fabric. Firmly stuff these pieces, but do not bring the stuffing down into the joint points. Mark the fronts of the upper legs and upper arms on the outside of the pieces with a pin or sticker for ease in assembly later. Refer to the pattern, if necessary. Turn under the raw upper edges on each piece and baste. Match the seams of each piece together in the center and whip stitch the openings closed. Remove the basting stitches. Set these eight completed pieces aside.

Body:
Remove the pattern and sew the front body together from the top of the neck to the crotch. Repeat for the back, leaving open where marked. With right sides together, match and pin the side seams of the back and front body together. Sew around from bottom of hip on one side up over the shoulder, across the neck, across the other shoulder and back down the other side to the bottom of the hip on the opposite side. Pin the front and back crotch together. Ease pin the back to the front across the bottom to fit. Sew the seam across the bottom. Clip the curves and angles and turn right side out. Firmly stuff the body and close the back opening with a ladder stitch. Set body aside
