Adding stuffing as you sew, stuff them so they are fairly firm but not straining the seams (Fig. 2).

Once you are happy with the shape continue sewing the seams right up to the cast -on edge. 

Then we’ll thread the tapestry needle with this long tail through the loops of the cast-on stitches and pull up tightly (I've used red to illustrate), tie off all the tails together and poke  them inside body to hide. (Fig. 3 - Fig. 9).
