When the overalls are ready, you need to cut out a yellow oval and sew it onto the belly.

You can easily find a hat pattern on the Internet; it can be either a separate hat with ears or a hood that will need to be sewn to the main product. The details of the hat and ears should also be cut from brown fabric, and yellow inserts will also be needed for the ears.
