Day 22 - 4/17/15 - Baymax and Shaping

Hooty Hoo!  Today I completed the head and the body for Baymax.  I'll present some thoughts soon but first the photos.

I used both tails (head and body) aligned together to attach
the head to the body.  Only used the outside loops.

Shaping Shaping Shaping.  Looking for the perfect look.

The only bump in the neck join.

Isn't he adorable?

Holes are a little big.

So my typical modus operandi (sic???) is to spend a lot of time and care on stitching the animal.  When it comes to putting the toy together I would hurry and do a not very good job of it.

With Baymax I decided to really take my time and get the toy I want.  The fact that Baymax already exists gives me something to shoot for when it comes to shaping.

I stuffed the body and head and worked the stuffing a lot.  I rolled the body and head back and forth.  I wanted it to be nice and stiff but not rigid.  Once I was happy I started sewing the head and body together. When I was about 2/3 through I added some more stuffing for the final touch.

Once the head was sewn on, I worked the stuffing like crazy.  I am happy with where it is.  It looks like he's gazing at the stars...
