Day 03

Today my friends and I made some ridiculous pants. We went to the shops on a mission to find some “Aladdin pants”, and then decided that they looked easy to make. They’re basically a square folded in half and sewed up the sides, leaving a gap for your feet and waist. Very baggy, and good for making other costumes.

Little felt friends

I made some cute little felt friends using my new Aranzi Aronzo book. The only potential problem is that I can’t read Japanese. My creations MIGHT have been made wrong. I didn’t use any pattern for the star.



The lighting looks different in some of the photos… I guess photogrpahy is not my calling!

Brooches!

I’ve been making brooches! But now I’ve given them all away. I even made a duckie one and gave it away BEFORE TAKING A PHOTO. Dumb dumb dumb.

First attempt.

Second attempt.

Third attempt.

I see an improvement! I think that the third is the best. Or you could say… a flower in the hand is worth a bird and another bird in a bush?
