Step 4Cut and pin body pieces
Place your finished pocket on the fleece you chose for the body (I started with the belly because it was a solid color). Trace the outline of the head of your serpent, making sure to leave enough room for the pocket to fit inside with seam allowances. I made a head with the nose sticking out further than the mouth to help cushion/hide the pocket.
Once you've designed the head, continue your line to make the body (I made my scarf about 45" long). Add a tail design if you'd like and cut out your piece. Use this cutout as a template and pin/cut your 3rd fleece color for the rest of the body (right sides together). Mark where your pocket will go on the head with a straight line - this will be the hinge of the 'jaw' and you won't be sewing past this point.
To line the nose, I cut two pieces of matching fleece and pinned on (see pics 8 & 9).
At this point if you want to add some legs/arms/wings, cut them out of felt and pin in between your two fleece layers.
