For more expressive features, embroider the mouth, add a tongue, or eyebrows with different angles.
Switch to orange shades for "Bingo" (the sibling character).
Use acrylic or cotton for finer details (eyes, mouth, paws).
Keep stitches tight and stuffing moderate to maximize plushness-do not overstuff, especially the tail.

Take your time with assembly. Use plenty of pins before sewing.
