2 days in a row!
AND... yes, Bea, the elephants are the Wee Wonderful's pattern from the book "Last Minute Patchwork Gifts" (I love that book- so many fun projects). They were much easier to sew than I thought they would be- the birds were kind of a pain because they are so small, but the elephants came together quickly and I love them. If you want to make them I advise you iron often and pin a lot. I had them in my office for a day the day I mailed them. I got some weird looks. A wants me to make one for us. I love how chubby they are.
AND
Here's one of the shirts too- this one came out the best of the three:
A says the fabric is very retro. He teases me when I wear it with the jeans I made (that I have to wear with a belt because the waist is too big) that I'm wearing my "homeade" outfits. I like the red buttons. I found a red velvet blazer for 15 dollars at an eddie bauer outlet that looks so cute with this shirt. Or at least I think it does, the rest of the world might be shaking their heads...
Have a happy heart day on thursday!
I'm going crazy here and posting two days in a row. BUT I'm on the computer tonight and wanted to say Happy Valentine's day, and I'm not in the mood to get on the computer most nights lately since that's where I spend my days.. glued to the screen and ArcMap, excel, command lines, and powerpoint. That, and tomorrow night is Project Runway night... and I'm a little addicted, I probably won't be on the computer.
So...
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! I had intentions in getting these in the mail, but it just didn't happen. I drew the design and printed them with my gocco and embossed them (which involved putting them in the oven!) to get the opaque effect.
