Begin by sewing on the feet to the body, then a tail on the back side. To make your Gulliver standing, try adding cut skewers into the feet forr extra durability. You may also need to add a third skewer as a type of tripod just under the tail to help him stand.

Then sew on the arms to either side of the body using the cut tail ends.

Now sew on the body to the head. Use the tail end at the bottom of the head sewn down onto the body to help keep your head in place as you use the tail end from the body to attach the body to the head. Make sure the head is pointing straight and dont forget to stuff your body before you finish sewing it on!

Finally, sew on the scarf around the neck.
