Step 8Sew the torso together with the arms.
We're going to do the same thing with the arms that we did with the legs - anchor them in place before we start sewing. It just works so much better than pinning in this case. :D
Place one part of the torso right side up and place the arms where you want them, but facing in. (See picture) Once you have them where you want them, anchor them. Then place the other piece of the torso on the top, wrong side up. You'll start at one of the lower corners and sew all the way around to the other corner. (Remember, 1/4 inch seam allowance!) Leave the straight bottom edge open. This will be where the butt connects. :P
This is pretty easy as long as you remember to sandwich the layers of fabric between your fingers while you sew.
Once you're done, knot the thread and turn right side out. Admire your handiwork and make sure the arms are where you want them and properly attached. If they're loose, simply turn wrong side out again and sew over the area with a bigger seam allowance. This will make them sit further back in the torso. :)
