Hey guys

I just bought this pattern and it all makes sense till me up until the point where it says

"That’s it! We usually use some polyester fiberfill to round the top of the head a bit. You can do so if you wish."

This may sound like a dumb question but how do you attach the stuffing inside the head? without the stuffing i thienk the head of the puppet would look a bit limp?

What you can do if it bugs you or it looks "awful" is place an amount of polyester fiberfill you feel is right. Then pull out the polyester fiberfill and create a small pillow in fabric. Once the pillow has been sewn add the polyester fiberfill to the pillow and then place the pillow in the head of the puppet. The pillow will keep the polyester fiberfill from moving around which may be irritating and if you sweat the pillow fabric will absorb it...instead of having a ball of sweaty fiberfill ...just my 2 cents :smile:

My hand is verry small and it fills up the whole head of the puppet that I made, but I recomend if you use stuffing to sew a pouch with linner fabric to put stuffing into fit the size and shape of the head.
