Homemade Swedish Chef from the Muppets Costume
Bork Bork Bork! I first started this Homemade Swedish Chef from the Muppets Costume with white Antron fleece, which is the fleece they use to make actual Muppets, then dyed it in a washing machine with koala brown and rose pink to get it a flesh color. I had another piece of white antron fleece, that I dyed with RIT dye in with yellow and rose pink to get the orange for the nose.
I had a foam base for the mask, and then used a baseball stitch to put the mask together by hand. I had some left over brown fur from another project and I used that for the hair. I made his chef hat freehand without a pattern. Also used fleece for his hands. Those were made with just tracing my hands and removing a finger since Muppets only have 4 fingers not 5.
I serendipitously had the blue striped T shirt already and I found the apron. I had to make the red bowtie myself, it snaps in the back since I didn’t want to tie it properly. Voila! Swedish Chef!
