The Count Von Count Build

[dhowellowl]

Thanks for the quick reply! I'll take a look at your Grover cape to help me out. Everything looks phenomenal.
Hopefully it covers how to attach them to the sleeve!

You were more than helpful! I also used your Elmo build to make mine. It's turning out really good.
Can I ask for more help/advice as I go on?

Absolutely! I'm here to help. This is a great but small community (hope you joined some Facebook groups too as there is some good stuff out there too) and I'm trying to give back my knowledge and lessons learned to the community as it is very hard to find specifics on how to go about building. I'd love to see your Elmo! I'm glad to hear some of the resources I put out there are being put to use. That makes me very happy! As far as The Count, I just sewed basic stitches to connect the cape to the forearm of the jacket. I'm assuming at least some version of the real deal may run the live hand sleeves through a hole of the back of the cape, but I did not do that. I just made super long gloves for human hands that run down past the cape. I just did small stitches to hold the cape to the forearm to keep everything in place and to hide the sleeves of the golves.

Thank you! Sorry I've been trying to reply but it kept saying my message was too long. Must have been a glitch or something. Either way, my Elmo is almost done now! I'll be sure to snap some pics and post them.
