Good Job :smile:
The mouth could be tidied up by sewing the mouth (the lip) to the red felt while its inside out.. Then gluing the felt to the mouthplate before turning rightside out..

Not a bad start indeed!... but i'd have to say practice a bit with the Henson stitch on a few scraps of fleece to help cover the seams as they look very visible here and stay away from the glue... On my Kermit, the only glue i used was to attach the eyes at the end.
It does take time to learn the methods, all the info and support you could ever need is on this forum. It took me 2 heads before i got it right and like they say 'practice makes perfect'. :smile:
