I have to sewn on the limbs and head but being black i will have to do it tomorrow.
I will be starting Sumi tomorrow too. Looking forward to seeing how i am going to do that.

Olympic Mascots continued

Miga pattern is now ready to go, i am happy with the size 50cm tall. I only finished 1 ear, 1 leg and 1 arm. Only pinned the limbs too, but you see the point.
I have started designing Quatchi, the tallest of the three mascots,
I am still having fun.

Olympic Mascot

I am very excited, Last night Renee asked me if i would like to do some crafts, Of course i said yes, i am always up for a new project, This is for her class room on Monday, they are doing about the Winter Olympics and she asked if i would like to make the 3 mascots. Well i had not seen them until that moment and i said i would be happy to give them a go. I will be making them with fabrics i have on hand, but for the working out phase i will use alternate fabrics.
The first one i am making is Miga. Cardboard templates as is my usual way of doing things.
Head, body and arms and appliqued belly. Neat stitching and colour cordination not a factor at the moment, that will happen on the final draft. This is just the first phase, the drafting part.
Attaching the foot to the leg.

Leg done.
I will be working on the ears, the hair piece and the face applique next, stuffing it and then assembling it. Once that is done i will be adjusting the cardboard pieces for the next step.
Loving it all at the moment.

Wedding Gifts

My daughter has been down for her final dress fitting this week and we also finished making the thank you gifts for the wedding guests.
labels were designed and printed onto Matt Photo Sticker A4 Sheets and printed out. they were then peeled and stuck onto the candles, twine was wound around and then placed into the little bags.
One thing we have been told is to record and take notes all the time because the time goes by so quickly. Her Auntie from Mauritius has made her veil, and it is just adorable, It was just the best feeling to have her and her daughter here with us to celebrate this special event.
