Jo-Ann Fabric mostly. It's nothing special. I don't use Antron fleece or anything like that. Just whatever I can find that seems like a good color match. Jo-Ann is also where I found a number of the materials I used to create the banjo.

Little bit of both, but mostly machine sewed. Obviously you can see the seams and it doesn't look quite as polished and professional and using the Henson stitch and whatnot, but the likeness of the character is good enough for me!

Well folks, Kermit's all set to go try out his new banjo at the family reunion tomorrow! Since it's a corn roast out in the country, he decided to get dressed up for the occasion! Here's a quick (and terrible) video of Kermit showing off his skills:
Great job! :big_grin:
