Sew the pocket to the front of the dungarees, then sew this to the bottom of the body and sew the arms on. Sew the straps onto the body over the arms and the legs to the bottom of the dungarees. Sew the feet to the bottom of the legs and the hands to the bottom of the arms. Sew the eye to the inside back of the glasses and then sew the strap onto the head, leaving a small gap at the front of the head. Sew the glasses to the head over the gap.

Finally use the black yarn to embroider an eye and a dot for a mouth (or a smile if you'd prefer)

As with all of my copyrighted patterns, I don't personally have any objection to you selling this but minions are copyrighted so you're not really meant to.
