Oh, this is just (anti-pill) fleece. It’s actually left-over fabric, and therefore the same color as Mac and Cheese, and Moostifer’s mouth. Foam is later in the course. I still need to buy foam.

I’ll probably be looking into more patterns (including yours) after the course.

Whoops – after all that, I forgot what I was going to say in the first place. Which is that I’m regretting missing out on this course. It looks good!

These methods seem very similar to what’s in The Foam Book – and therefore similar to how I make my muppets, since that’s the book I learned from. I may have missed it, but what’s the head made of? It doesn’t look like it’s foam, just the skin covering.

By the way, depending on how you attach the mouth, you can have it looking ‘gummy’ or with more of a lip. I’ve found that Project Puppet patterns tend to look more like they have lips, and Foam Book puppets have more of a ‘gum’.
