This is Domo-Kun, mascot for Japan's NHK television channel. I had a lot of fun making this little guy. I kind of just made him up as I went, nothing too complicated. I didn't take pictures of the process, but I made images to help you make your own. Enjoy!
Note: You can probably find an easier way to attach the arms (i.e. before the body is sewn together), the only reason I have sewing the arms on as one of the last steps is because I nearly forgot to add them at all--oops!

Now you're going to prepare the arms. Fold them in half, line them up correctly, and then sew the open side shut, leaving the end open for stuffing (see animated illustration here for where to sew).

Next, you're going to whip stitch the side pieces onto the front and back body pieces, making a hollow Domo-shell. When you run to the end of the strip, just whip stitch the end of one strip to the next and press it flat, and then continue to stitch the sides to the body pieces. Be sure to leave an opening for stuffing.
