Awesome video and super creative to build off of someone else's template like this! Do the seams have to be double top stitches or do you think it would work just with the first zigzag stitch?
The regular zigzag stitch will definitely still work, but you’ll have to figure out what to do with the seam allowance, as it may show through when stretched over the shell.
do you think it'd be possible to do like a 3/4, where the shell goes down to the jaw, but don't cover the mouth? that way it avoids the extremely prominent cheekbones?
Possibly! You’d still run the risk of the fabric stretching over that edge and revealing the line. It seems to simply be a challenge of using EVA foam, but the only way to find out would be to try it!
I have another video on my channel going over how I chose the material for the eyes. I don’t have a specific product I can link, so I recommend giving it a watch!
You’ll want to print it in Poster mode, so that it breaks up into multiple sheets when printed. 100% fits my head (24 inches) plus the face shell on top.
It’s dependent on your head measurement, and how you would scale the pattern based on Greg’s recommendations (included with the template). So if his guidelines recommend 100% for your head size, I would print it at 95% to make a half shell. My head is 24 inches, and I used 105% for the full, and normal (100%) for the half.
Greg’s template includes a guide for sizing, and you can follow my recommendation about shrinking it by 5% for the half shell. Simply match the scale of the fabric pattern to the scale you choose for the foam pattern.
