Sewing the Pattern Outline: How to Make a Puppet
Hello, this is Paul from Puppetsnstuff.com. You can find on the worldwide web at www.puppetsnstuff.com. We are now going to continue with building our moving mouth puppet by taking the pattern that we drew out earlier and we are going to start sewing it. Okay, so this is the fun part folks. Again if you do not know how to use a sewing machine, I suggest that you get somebody to do this for you. What you want to do is carefully sew along the lines that you drew earlier and hopefully you will have a reliable sewing machine not like mine that needs some repair. So hopefully my machine won’t conk out on me. What I am going to do is carefully sew the pattern. Now you really want to take your time with this because once these pieces of thread or sewn in it is a done deal. Now I am going to be going around the head, almost there, coming down the torso now and we are approaching the finish line as far as sewing out the pattern and there we have it. We have a little sewn pattern. Okay. All right, when we come back we are going to cut this pattern out and we are going to fold it inside out and I am going to show you how we do that. Back in a bit.
