Assembly
------------
sew all 3 legs to the bottom before inserting it into the body. I center all 3, but there are no rules about arranging them.
Sew the bottom to the inside of the body, lining it up with the bottom of the contrasting stripe.
Once you have ¾ sewn stuff with polyfil. I leave it a little soft and squeezable, but make it as firm as you want.
Sew the rest of the way
fasten off and weave in ends.
