Sew the arms and legs to the body using the long tails you left. Attach the hat snugly to the head. Stitch on the eyes and smile as desired.

Finishing:

Weave in all ends meticulously to keep the toy clean. Optionally, block the toy by lightly steaming to shape it better. Put away to ensure it keeps its shape. Enjoy gifting this lovable bear!
