Press the legs against the body and sew it at round 7 of the leg. See picture 09.
Don’t sew the bottom of the leg. See dotted line on picture 10 where to sew. This is to give better balance between the legs, and so the feet stands straight down.

Sew also on the sides so the arms stays nicely against the body.
