Bumper Pokemon Take Two: Jigglypuff's Hairdo

I decided to rework the Jigglypuff hairdo for MTAC, since I was never pleased with how the helmet came out.  I think the reworked hairdo is a huge improvement on the original design!

To cover up my head, I decided on a large hood shape.  This was pretty simple.  I folded a piece of pink fleece in half and cut it into a large square, drew my hood shape, cut along every part but the fold seam, and sewed.  In making this hood, I found this tutorial extremely useful!

As you can see above, the front silhouette is much improved already!

The next step in getting this hairdo right was making a swirly poof for Jiggly's forehead.  To do this, I simply free-handed the poof shape on a folded piece of pink fleece, and cut it out.  I made sure to draw it larger than it needed to be, to allow for a seam when I sewed.  I then sewed the two sides, leaving about a hand's width un-sewn to allow me to stuff it.  Once it was sewn, I flipped the pillow inside out and stuffed it full of stuffing.  Once it was sufficiently stuffed, I sewed the last bit together.  The poof will be held on with a large velcro strip.

I then moved on to stuffing the hood, to give the hairdo a more rounded out appearance.  I trimmed the edges of the hood down so it would fit onto the body better, and then loosely pinned the edges (this was to help keep the stuffing from falling out, in addition to giving me a sew line later).  I then stuffed the hood and tried it on:

Not wonderful from the back, which is partially because I had some issues getting the fabric onto the ball in the first place, but it could certainly be worse.  I think we will have fewer issues with future bumper pokemon.

Now, we just needed to hide my face a bit better, which was accomplished by adding a vision screen.  To make the vision screen, I took a roll of window screening purchased at Home Depot, cut it to shape, sprayed it with primer, and then spray painted it pink.  The final results were pretty good!
