Cutting belly piece and hole. Through belly hole, you can see the slit I cut in the back of FrankenPanda. This is where the final inside-out sewing of belly and legs will be done through; then sewn up last, after stuffing.

I had previously sewn the legs inside-out, then reversed them to be sewn from the inside, through back slit.

As you can see; I wasn't able to properly wrap my mind around the twists and inversions that I had subjected my FrankenPanda leg to... and ended up sewing it on backwards.
I was not about to pull out all that stitching, however, and trimmed the legs to eliminate the cute little foot detail. I'll try not to mess up the next one.
