With everything cut out, I started sewing up a jumpsuit to put on a sheep – I started with the black first since it’s Easton’s and he won’t be pointing out any sewing errors for numerous years!

I think it looks a bit like a gorilla costume at the moment – although once it’s on the sheep I’m sure it will look more woolen. As for construction, it was a breeze. However, the trickiest part was the zipper. Between the small seam allowances (1/4″) and pile on the fabric, inserting the zipper was challenging. Once the zip was in, I found that a lot of the fur got in the way so I used a long machine stitch and topstitched close to the finished edge and then trimmed any super plush minky that was poking out.
One jumpsuit down, one to go!

I agree it does look like the back of a gorilla costume.
