More makings....
 |
| I added another bit of foam to make his head rounder |
 |
right hand side I used upholstery foam
better to use the hard foam though. |
 |
| Retro-fitting the suedette fabric to the legs. |
 |
| Sandwiching foam either side of the feet ready to be cut out |
 |
the feet cut out and roughly shaped.
|
I brought some great fabric via the leggings section in Primarni (Primark), the leggings in there are disgusting as clothing but the fabric is great for puppets. I found some suedette leggings and thought they'd be perfect for the Monkey....which they are.
I stitched the toes individually by retrofitting- i did it quite tightly, usually you measure the fabric to 3x the width but I did it slightly less so it would shape around the wire. It took absolutely ages but its definitely improved my fine hand stitching.

| Retro-fitting and stitching the toes. |
 |
| One down... 9 more to go... |
 |
| Almost there... |
So one foot down just the other to go and then the two hands when they're made....
