I like it! He (or she, I suppose) looks really ambitious; it'll be neat to see the finished product! Good luck!

almost done

Thank you all for the support!

well I'm gonna finish my first puppet, and at the moment I'm quite satisfied... I mean, as a first attempting to build a puppet, is fine, but I have to find the way to hide the seams. I definitively have to try antron fleece. some tips to hide seams? what is the right way to seam together the fabric parts?

... and the following could be the next:

Awesome! I can't wait to see the finished puppets.

Project puppet's website has a list of helpful stiches.

For a first puppet, the 'baseball stitch' tends to be a pretty easy one, and (for me, at least) it hides seams pretty well. Part of that depends on the material. That is, seams disappear more easily with nappier fabric.
