Thanks everyone for your welcome messages!

Shawn and Julie, thanks for the fleece covering info! I didn't realize I could use the foam pattern to make a fleece covering pattern, since the project puppet patterns use 2 completely different looking patterns for the foam and fleece ( at least in the simple series alternative body pattern)

When I get around to making my next puppet body (hopefully soon!) I'll post the results here.

P.S. - Julie, I get all my Antron and eye's from you. I love your store!

Well sometimes a pattern for fabric and be different then the foam depending on where you want seams to show and how much stretch you have in the fabric.  For example on a head you may have a seam down the middle of the head on the foam but not want that on the fabric so your pattern for fabric may have it's seams on the side under or behind the ear which would be easier to hide. Also since fabric does often stretch and foam does not you may not need the same amount of seams.

Bottom line... in this case you can use the same pattern.

Thanks.  We appreciate your business.  I apologize for not realizing...I loose track of names that go with posts. I usually remember peoples names when they order, but somehow my brain doesn't file the other info along with it. LOL

Look forward to seeing the new puppet.

I wanted to add a quick note about "recognizing folks".   It can be hard knowing who is who in other places on the web. You can help in one of two ways. When you registered you put in a user name that is used by default as a display on your post.  If you want in your Profile you can set a Name that is used for display instead. Simply go to Profile > Modify Profile > Account Related Settings and fill in the Name box with your real name or something that would be recognizable to others.  That is what Julie has done.  In her case she has used her company name.  She then adds here name real name when she post something. Actually if she wanted to she could add here name to here Signature and it would show up automatically. You can actually add other things to your Signature if you want also but I encourage you to keep it kind o short. To do this go to Profile > Modify Profile > Forum Profile Information and enter what you want in the Signature field that is toward the end of the form.
