I've made them before. Its kind of crude but if you draw up a design thats in principle, similar to the design you'd use to make a pair of boxer shorts and then where the opening is at each base, sew in your two circles/ovals. Turn and voilah!
Does that make sense?

I like lizzies idea, you could also make out of foam a pigs nose shape (like a flat figure of eight) then cover that with a fake leather, then the legs are pretty much self explanitory, little tubes of foam covered in your choice of fabric!!

Another method that could be used to make the feet is to sculpt them out of Model Magic or carve them using foam pool noodles and paint them.

Thank you in advanceJust a suggestion but you could start with the tube style body and just add to it. two rounded rectangles for pecks and smaller for abbs ect.... if you do it in 1/2 in. foam it should still be able to be covered with your normal skin pattern or you could add about and inch extra.

Thank you. I tried to draw out a torso patten on paper. I'm going to play around a bit. wish me luck. I like your idea as well, even better.
