Puppets

For our first official sewing project, we created our own puppets. They were simple projects that involved sewing seams and understanding how to hide seams, but fun. The pattern we used to make these puppets was provided to us, and came on printer paper. We cut out the shapes from the printer paper and used these to trace and cut our fabric. The puppet consisted of two parts- a top and a bottom, and we could choose to alter it in any way we wished. I chose to make a female doll wearing a pink shirt and floral skirt. I also altered the pattern so that she had a waist line to look more feminine. The hardest part of this project was pushing the arms right-side out, as you sew everything inside out. This is done so that all of the seams are hidden when you have your final project. My arms were a tad skinny because I left a large seam allowance by accident and so I struggled to push them right-side out.
