The making of Sackboy

As much as I love making character dolls, they are much harder to put together than say..regular amigurumi dolls.

This is what goes into the making of Sackboy.

First I watch many YouTube videos to get an idea of how he looks from all angles. I am not a gamer..no time.. I think THE SIMS was the last game I played ;)

After getting a general idea of Sackboy's dimensions..

I draw out a quick sketch..

He doesn't look like much now.but I draw where his "stitches" go. Sackboy as I have now learnt is made up of bits of ..err sack..sewn together.. sorry if this sounds dumb to a fan, but this post is entitled the Making of..

Next come the hard part of making up the bits and pieces that form him. 

I do write down the pattern as I go along, to make it easier to replicate and tweek for the next one.

His arms and legs...

Body and head..

Sew them all together add the safety eyes..add a crochet zip..and the "sewn up" stitches..

and 

TA DA!!!
