Assembling.
I always use sewing pins to place all parts first, before sewing. This way you can easily move all parts around until you are happy with the outcome.
Sew the body to the head. After that sew on the arms. Now you can reach them well.
The order doesn’t really matter, but sew on the ears, feet and tail on as well. And you are already done!
