I'm trying to make a peanut shaped body...and I can't really figure out the pattern shape. I want something like this

Actually...I was gonna buy that costume to get the pattern..but can't find it anywhere.

Any suggestions/drawing shapes for a peanut shaped body?

That looks like a long, thin peanut shape, duplicated seven times.

You can actually see the pattern right there in the picture. Look at the vertical lines. You can see that they are wedges that go around the costume. Just try playing with the exact shapes and number of wedges. More wedges usually means a smoother shape.

I might even break the shape into 2 'barrels' made of foam wedges and then attach them together to get the 'narrow top, wide bottom' peanut shape.
