Still thinking/brainstorming about the house page. What's in my head doesn't translate too well to the sketchbook page -- yet. Still very early idea(s).
Again...this only needs to make sense to ME later on...LOL.
part two -- later that same evening...
I was feeling like I wanted to sew something so I scooped up my sewn-together-piece-of-fabric guy and made some legs for him.
I grabbed some leftover fabric that I really like.
I was thinking I'd like to try and just free-hand the shape of the legs.
I put pins down the middle of the fabric so it wouldn't slip (just in case).
I didn't care if the legs were not perfectly matched.
I trimmed off the excess material.
I tried them out with the sewn-together-piece-of-fabric...looks kinda cool.
Then I turned the legs right-side out and stuffed them and forgot to take photos of that process for myself. It was frustrating because I couldn't get the stuffing even -- or as even as I was hoping for -- my homemade stuffing device was too big for most of the leg, only the very top fit.
So I put the legs into the body (like Suzanne showed me with Spikey) and sewed across the edge.
Sometimes I do wish I had a machine and knew how to use it.
How the inside edge looks...for now.
Bootsy was intrigued.
Yeah...not a cat toy, Bootsy!
Not too bad!
I didn't notice until this photo that I (somehow) got the stripes even...it wasn't intentional, that's for sure!
I pushed some stuffing into the body to see how it might look.
I haven't decided on anything yet...I don't know the body shape, the head shape, whether it will have spikes or not, whether I will add a head or just section one out of the body...no idea where to go from here -- yet.
