Instructions for the Tusken Raider 'Ugly Doll' are kind of difficult to explain since I designed it as I sewed. However, I'm going to attempt to explain as well as I can.
1. For the form, I used light brown fleece which I free handed on doubled fleece which I just stitched together, flipped inside out then stuffed.
2. For the tunic I used tan fleece. I made the tunic by tracing the form and cutting it out slightly larger, so it would fit over the form; I just stitched it and flipped it right side out.
3. For the robe and head wrap, I used tea dyed gauze. The robe was difficult and it's the most difficult to give instructions for. I made 4 rectangles of overladen gauze, two small rectangles for the arms and two large for the robe sides. I did this by folding gauze over and over on itself and stitching it with a zig-zag stitch with light tan thread. I then stitched the two large pieces together, made tubes for the sleeves and attached the sleeves to make a complete robe. I think that's the best I can explain the jacket.
For the head wrap I wrapped and sewed as I went to get good coverage and to get it wrapped how I wanted it to look.
4. Now for the details. For the sash I just used a strip of brown material. The mouth mask was made with a remnant of tan fleece and black embroidery thread. And for the face, I used two sizes of bolts for the eyes and face tubes which I stitched on with clear thread.
:) ENJOY!!!

Here is my Tusken Raider front and back! I made mine much cutesier than the 'real' Tusken Raider. I stylized it like those Ugly Dolls!
