Making the head is quite difficult, good sewing is really important here. At first fasten ears symmetrically. Then place the nose right below the eyes, sew around the nose and add some stuffing until finished. At last fasten the stripe on the top side of the nose (also right below the eyes). Add the smile and eyebrows using black yarn. Now the head will look more like a tiger’s head ;)

Now it’s time to sew all parts together. Fasten legs and arms to the body, belly should be fastened between arms and legs. Don’t forget about a tail – It’s stuffed lightly, so you can form any shape you want. At last fasten the head. Remember that the Tigger needs stripes on his body, you can make them with black yarn or with some black material.
