Assembly: 

Stuff the legs of your doll firmly, and sew the soles onto your dolls feet. Sew the hem onto each shirt sleeve. Then sew the arms onto your doll. Sew on the ears and nose. Weave in all ends on your amigurumi and the vest. Sew the pockets onto the vest. Sew on a mouth and eyebrows. Then weave in all of the ends on the spikes of hair. Then sew the wig cap in place on your amigurumi's head. You can also cut out a little patch for the vest using felt, and attach it to the vest using a hot glue gun. That's it, your all done!
