Assembly: 
If you assemble the doll in the order I give you then you will not have to worry so much
about centering the different parts as much. 

1) Sew the arms on. These get sewn directly under the head
2) sew on the legs. How you sew the legs on is up to you. I wanted this monkey to be in a
standing position so I sewed them on in a way the doll stands up. View the video on how
to do this at 1:10:03.UPDATE ~> I just added a new video for an alternate way to sew on
the legs right here
3) sew on  tail 
4) sew on the muzzle (top of muzzle should sit just above the 10th or 11th row). 
5) add eyes to the eye patches then sew the eye patches to the head. ( video at 1:31:30)
6) sew on the ears (between the 8th and 12th row). Pin them in place before sewing them
in helps. But again, view the video for tips on sewing this part.
