What to focus on
Decide whether your plushie should rest its arms at its sides or hold an accessory. Pin both arms in the chosen pose, compare their height, and follow the corresponding sewing line in the video.
Practice with Andy
Play the video once to see the result, then replay it in short sections as you work. Keep a small sample nearby to test the technique before using it on your finished plushie.
