Mass Production!

Over the summer, I had my first three sister's feltie for sale at the book shop I was working at. A woman came in one day and requested that I make three of these for her. I finally got around to starting them last night on a large scale. I had to actually order in felt because the felt I used for the original was no longer available! The felt is slightly a darker colour, but it looks excellent! I can hopefully be done these in the next couple days and ship them to her by the end of the week!

Wee Scarf!

I made this for a previous co worker instead of a feltie, because she has her own special stuffed animal named Lenny! So I decided to make him a delish accessory! This is the second complete thing I've ever knitted. I just used a basic knit, as I have not yet mastered any other stitch. I made the L's out of felt and put one on each end of the scarf, with a mirrored L on the back. And the recipient's name stitched into one of them.


So many L's!








Modeled on my Build-A-Bear frog!

Bar of Felt Chocolate!

Awesome!


Chocolate Bar!


Wrapper without bar inside of it.


Back of wrapper. Buttoned up! I realized, only after the fact, that there were much better ways to put the wrapper together. But live and learn, I suppose.


I stitched the recipient's name onto the bottom corner.


Chocolate peeking out! I just realized I didn't get a picture of just the chocolate bar. But I made a simple rectangular wire frame for him and stitched on a wee face and seems where squares of chocolate would be!


Finished product! Chocolate bar & wrapper! Constructed from felt!

Buttons!!

Secret Project 2!

OOOoooo!! So Secret!
I'm doing this one by hand and not with the sewing machine, because at this point its actually FASTER to hand stitch it. I'd end up wrecking like... 7 of them by using a sewing machine.

Crash Course in Sewing Machine Education

My mom bought me a sewing machine as my moving out gift! It's awesome, except I have no idea how to use it. A couple weeks ago I sat down and taught myself the basics.

This was the most solid thing that came out of that day. Whale. There was a much less succesful whale before him. He got canned. Haha.




I do enjoy this whale, as he is pretty awesome. He serves now as a pincushion and perhaps I shall make a more refined version of him one of these days.
