    Abby Cadabby Build

    In general, boiling fur is a good way to remove the shiny sheen it often comes with, or, depending on the character, to give it a more rugged and worn look. With Abby, I did this because I wanted to dull the pink, making it less of a hot pink. I also wanted the fur to look more rugged, so it...

    The Count Von Count Build

    Absolutely! I'm here to help. This is a great but small community (hope you joined some Facebook groups too as there is some good stuff out there too) and I'm trying to give back my knowledge and lessons learned to the community as it is very hard to find specifics on how to go about building...

    The Count Von Count Build

    Hello there and thanks for the feedback! The base green fabric of the cape is from Amazon. The decorative inside design is from Michaels. I linked both exact fabrics I purchased. I purchased one yard each for each fabric. Check out my Super Grover Accessory post for marking and cutting out the...

    After getting some constructive criticism, I shortened the length of the neck. Much happier with it now!

    Cookie Monster v2 Build

    My first Cookie Monster build has always bugged me—the fabric was too dark, and the overall size and look weren’t quite right. It never felt as accurate as I wanted. So, I finally found some time to take another shot at it, hoping to redeem myself! As always, I’ve documented the entire build...

    Slimey the Worm Build

    I decided to do a quick one day build and made a Slimey the Worm to add to the collection. It's a nice addition to my Oscar. I made a mechanism out of a trigger from an old spray bottle to pull fishing line to move the mouth. It's not that great but works all right. For more details on the build...

    Abby Cadabby Build

    Holy cow guys..... This build has chewed me up and spit me out. This has been by far the hardest build to date. I would have never attempted this if my almost 2 year old daughter didn't now have a love for Abby (And the wife pressuring me to build it). I think I built everything at least 3-5...

    Ernie Build

    Well, I just had to do Ernie since I did Bert. This had to be my quickest build. I somehow only spent 4 days from start to finish while only working at him at night. I think with me finally not making as many sewing mistakes has helped drastically with time. I still claim to have no clue what I...

    Bert Build

    Here is some pictures of my latest build. It's Bert! Had a lot of fun with this one since he has an eyebrow mechanism. It was fun to do a different build. This did remind me that building clothes sucks, but he turned out pretty good despite that nightmare. Also, I started a new blog at...
