The Ongoing Poppet and Punkin-Along

[kinoni]

half a meter is enough, with room for lots of mistakes (if you lay it out right).

The original pattern calls for 1/4 yd material but I usually buy 1/2 but I can get two poppets out of it.

Thank you!!   Now to count the days until my Hancock's coupon is valid...

That stinks waiting till a coupon is good. And in the mean time dreaming of the material you need.

Are you guys taking into account that Elinore is bigger than a regular poppet?

[ghilie]

still, half a yard would be good for elinore as well.

Can't wait to see your poppet when you get it done!!

I haven't made a poppet in ages but I needed a bday present for my son's friend tomorrow so I whipped this up today. I didn't actually use the pattern, just free hand cut out the shapes in fleece and some weird scaley fabric. I put a small piece of dowel into the neck for stability 'cause I didn't want to stuff this hard, fleece just keeps on stretching and stretching and stretching!
He's got ears and small horns, purple claws, wings and scales on his back and tail. There are bigger pics in flickr if you want to take a look.



It's much faster to make a poppet if you cheat .

Aw what a cutie! It's great to see what else poppeting can spawn! Great job!
