I suggest sewing the face on slightly to the side and over one shoulder so your monster isn’t facing into the curtain he is hugging, and sewing the arms on slightly to the side (see photo) to allow your monster to look more easily over his shoulder. How you sew on everything else is up to you, be creative and enjoy giving your monsters their own personalities!!
Once finished, you knot together the super long arms to tie the curtains back.
