Gargoyle

All the head pieces have been cut out ready to sew, the nose, eyes and mouth have an iron on stabilizer to help give it body.

Savers

I took a break and went shopping, The new Savers in Mill Park that opened on Thursday. This is what i bought, Sketch a Graph, I always wanted one of these when i was a kid! Mythology, I have the Dragonology and Pirateology so i wanted to add to my collection, and two super sewing books, Killer Slippers and Killer Tea Cosies, Very funny stuff to make. Total cost? $10. A bargain!

Gargoyle

I am happy with the face but before I undo it all I mark the positions on the face front and mark all the pattern pieces including the nose gusset and chin gusset and inner mouth piece. Then I mark the upper head and lower chin gusset making sure i put positional marks on them first.

Soft Sculpture

Tilli and Meggie helping as usual! This is the fabric i am using, along with the stuffing and the trusty cardboard that i like to use to help me create.
A rough draft of my new project, The cardboard pieces are to help me visualize and get the dimensions of my new project. This is going to be made all in one colour, a mid to dark grey woolen fabric.

Knee Blankets

Whenever I finish a project, and before I start the next project, I knit knee blankets. I do a section at a time before starting my next sewing project. I call it my in between project. I use odd balls of wool/yarn. They are in garter stitch, 4mm needles and 8 ply wool. It is made up of rows that are joined as you knit This saves time and each row is 35 stitches wide. When they are the size want I finish them off by doing a couple of rows around the edge in crochet.

Tiki Cushion

This is the Tiki Cushion finished.
Side Views. I have stuffed it with the same wadding i used to make the textured fabric. firm but soft.
It is 65cm tall and 91cm around.

Tiki Cushion

This is the same picture as before, but photo shopped. It has given me something to think about, I think that the cushion in colour would be visually more exciting.
