Making up

Sew arms to the front of the body leaving 2 stitches in between, folding the arm in half and sewing through the back and front and sew through each of the 5 stitches.

Then pin the legs in place, pinning the back at the bottom and the front at the front lower belly of the dinosaur and sew when happy with placement.

Then line the head up pin and sew in place when you're happy with it but before sewing last few stitches add some more stuffing to the back of the neck before closing up.
