leave an opening for stuffing, blind stitch!
Seam Allowance: sew at least 1/2" in from edge, cut a couple of notches on the curves, cutting evenly and close to the seam but not cutting through the thread! Search YouTube or Google for easy sewing terms and how to sew if you are a beginner. Use poly-fill or whatever clean and allergy free fill you like. Be sure to leave a good amount of open so your hand will fit to fill in, start at feet and work your way up. Advanced sewers, make arms and attach! Cut and fill first, then put between the front and back (facing each other) as you sew the monster together.
