I just thought I'd share the pics of my very first puppet. I made it for my niece for her 7th birthday. There are a lot of things I wish came out better, but overall I'm very happy with it being my first one.

WOW!!! you actually think that it could be improved, i think its brilliant and you must be a perfectionist if you arent totally pleased with it. well done for making a fantastic first puppet. ill be honest, alot of people take a while to finally make a puppet this good!!

Wow thanks for the compliment, I think overall it came out really good, but I had to hand stitch everything so the seams could have been much better, and I was pretty limited with the supplies I could afford.

I agree with jeezbo, Very nicely done!  I know what you mean about things coming out better.   I always see all the small imperfections in my work or at least what is perceive as flaws. I think it just makes us better builders in the long run.  You have nothing to be ashamed of though on this one.

I wish my first puppet had turned out that well!! Your niece will LOVE it!!

from what i looked at its a great puppet! you should see my first one! lol! so i consider my first project puppet pattern my first one just because i made it on my own. ill post that one but i have an older one that me and my grandma made about 17 years ago without a pattern. i look at it now and its kinda scary!  

I'm with everyone else.  You did a really good job for a first puppet as well as all the hand stitching.  Your niece will love her.

Thanks for all of the compliments guys, they mean a lot!

It really is hard to believe that this one is a first. You have great talent and will undoubdedly bring in lots of great... puppetstuff! ;-)
