Just wanted to check in and see how everyone is going. Let me know if you're having any trouble!

The new pattern looks much better and is easier to use. As you can tell, some of us have challenges getting things to be the correct size. The original pattern was just so tiny, I'll be able to finish the puppet in a couple of weeks, hopefully. I'll post the original and the revised.

Great; hopefully everyone else is finding the new sizes better. Thanks for all the help!

Just a short note to say the pattern is now available to purchase... more info and a video here:

Here is the puppet I made.  I messed up a bit on the neck, my fault, so it wasn't quit long enough and then I lost my spot sewing it on (too much fur everywhere!) but it still worked.  I wouldn't recommend such long fur to a beginner, it can be difficult to work with.

Just had to share: I've now sold three of the patterns, one to someone in NSW (Australian state), the Netherlands, and today to someone in England!

YAY!

Congratulations Na !....................... Just wait until they see all the goodies in a bag. Do you have your website ste up for your customers to recieve updated newsletters? This way folks can get updated on new items available.

You are doing great !.................. Wished I could get my pattern tutorial part finished.... hopefully soon !

I realize now what goes into designing a pattern.... lots of work and planning. Taking pictures,more pictures, editing. more editing.

So folks ! you want regret buying Na's pattern

Thank you!

Yes, I have a sort of newsletter; it's just an RSS feed to my Store news page, which people can subscribe to separately to my main website.

I'm sure you'll get your tutorial done, it just takes time. Muppets are so much more involved than other patterns I've found. The hardest part for me was getting the printed patterns to match up with my original patterns.

... Now I've got to make a female body add-on pattern... and another two patterns coming; a cow based on my bell-head that I made early on in the year, and a human pattern, perhaps based on one of my first three muppets.

Just checking in to see how people are going with their builds. Any more photos to share?

Hello Everyone!

Yes I was the one who lives in the Netherlands who bought the pattern from Na ! Unfortunately I was to late for the free try outs, but buying this pattern for such a great price was a great investment! I would recommend this pattern to everyone! It is very detailed.

For Na: It was easy to follow, but the neck is very small! It is made for a tiny womenshand. Maybe you could add in the pattern that is is made for a hand with wideness of 10 centimeters(measurement on the widest part of the hand including the thumb, see picture). When your hand is wider, you should add a centimeter on the smallest part of the neck for every centimeter that your hand is wide(see picture only change the penmark). Don't change the wideness of the body or the upperneck! This will do!







And here is the result from Holland:
