    My Kermit Replica (WIP)

    How to make a torso for Kermit?

    As i was using a cheaper anti-pill fleece, sadly it's double sided so it couldn't be glued without it looking like crap. So i had to Henson stitch all my fingers which kinda worked in the end but it took ages!

On my Kermit, the only glue i used was to attach the eyes at the end. It does take time to learn...
