Instructions:
1. Design the Pattern:

3. Sew the Body:
- Place the white oval on the center of the orange body piece and sew it in place.
- Place the two orange ear pieces right sides together and sew around the edges, leaving the bottom open. Turn them right side out.
- Attach the ears to the top of the body piece, sewing them in place.
- Sew the black eye and nose pieces onto the face.
4. Sew the Tail:

- Turn the tail right side out.
5. Assemble the Plushie:
- Place the tail between the two body pieces, with the open end of the tail inside the body.
- Sew around the edges of the body, leaving a small opening for turning and stuffing.
