An accomplished seamstress I am not. I don't own a sewing machine. I can sew on buttons or hem a trouser seam in an emergency, but that's where my talent with needle and cotton begins and ends. I'm hoping then, that you won't judge my latest "project" too harshly! It was something I did for fun using some of the fabulous materials from
Crafty Creatives Box 1.
I collected some materials together along with the beautiful William Morris fabric and floral wooden buttons from CCBox1.
Ready to cut out the fabric from my very professional(!) template.
Using the buttons for eyes and red embroidery thread also from CCBox1 to create a nose! As you can see my hand stitching isn't the best, but it doesn't matter for this project because it won't be seen.
Stuffing! Making him nice and plump!!
Ta daaaaa! The finished article.
Forget Disco Pants.
These are proper groovy!
Let me sum up this project with a conversation:
Me: Look what I made today!
Husband: Oh.
Me: Don't you like it?!
Husband: Er.. yeah. It's nice. (pause) What is it?!
Me: I don't know. It's just a "thing" wearing fancy pants.
Haha the conversation at the end of this is brilliant! A very cuten little creation
