Wanted to try a different approach with sewing the teeth onto the head. Needless to say it took way too long to get this look and definitely want to try a faster approach next time. I cut small slits on the fleece and sewed it from the back, all the teeth are lightly stuffed and the material consists of "soft and stable" and white non stretch velour that has a shorter pile than minky.
Will tackle a completely different way next time and hopefully it involves less hand sewing and more machine sewing :).
