Assembly and Detailing
Sew the Head to the Body securely.
Sew the Legs to the bottom of the Body, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Slide the Shorts onto the doll. The white cuff should be visible just above the skin-tone legs.
Sew the Arms to the sides of the Body, just below the neck.
Sew the Hair Cap to the head.
Using black embroidery floss or thin yarn, embroider Luffy’s eyes, arched eyebrows, and a small ‘V’ shape for his mouth. Under his left eye, embroider a short black line for his scar. Add a small stitch of pink yarn or floss on each cheek for blush.
Assemble the Vest by sewing the shoulder seams of the front panels to the back panel. Drape the vest over the doll’s shoulders and chest, then stitch it in place. Embroider three small yellow dots (buttons) on each front panel of the vest.
Wrap the Yellow Sash around the doll’s waist, tying or sewing it in place as seen in the image.
Place the Straw Hat on Luffy’s head and tack it in place with a few stitches if desired.
