I helped Danielle this week with a Bride and Groom for a wedding today.
This was a test run as making jackets I always find a little tricky so wanted to plan ahead a little.
We made this jacket and small legs about 10 days ago.

I changed the shirt style on picture 3.

We started the actual design on Thursday and due to work commitments we had to make separately on the first day, 
this was a worry as trying to get a similar size to the pictures we were sent was not easy when not twisting together.

The legs, we did put a kink in one of the legs so it looked like he had some movement and did not look too static.
The start of the first shoulder and arm.

Arms and legs sorted, we tried three variations on the shoes.

Deciding what size hands to go for, 160 or 260 for the fingers.

We went for 160 fingers then made a couple of Bunny Rabbits that are family pets for the Bride & Groom.

Then it was day two at Danielle's, quickly just putting the Groom together to see sizing's etc.

It was a fun couple of days making the Bride and Groom with Danielle, in total with a prototype for the jacket we spent about 20 bours on the design.
