How to make a kitty doll body!
I made this so I could make Hello Kitty dolls for my Etsy, but I figured I could share the plain ol' body with you guys--if you want to make it Hello Kitty for yourself, I'm not telling you how! >:D Otherwise it's just a basic stuffed kitty body. :)

    Cut pieces. You will need two each of the arms, soles, body, and head, and four of the leg pieces.

    Line up and pin the body pieces together, then begin pinning the arms and legs down and sewing them into place. You may find it difficult to pin all of the limbs to the body at once, so try one or two at a time.

    Use a backstitch to attach the limbs, and a whip stitch for the sides of the body/between the legs.
