"So I am now whip stitching one of the arms on. As you can see I have got stuffing throughout the whole torso here and that just gives me a little bit of shape so that I can you know get the arms nice and squared up on the side so I can decide how high or how low I want them. I have decided I am going to put them about an inch beneath the ears. So not too low. You know just kind of actually kind of high shoulders monkey. So it's kind of cute. And like I said he's got stuffing in him but I still need to kind of have a finger inside and be feeling the other side of this cloth as I am kind of doing the whip stitch through the arm. So how are we doing here? Yeah, that is kind of coming along just fine. So it just takes a few. You know one thing I will say when I am doing when I am whip stitching the tail and the arms on I am actually at the same time closing up that tube of sock fabric. Right? So you can do it the other way if you want. You could actually close that tube first the opening and then whip stitch the limb or the tail or whatever it is on. I am just kind of doing it all in one step. So."
