Hi all! Well, it's been a while, but here is a little thing I made the other day. I call him the "Josh Bunny". It's for my 2 year old nephew Joshua.
I'm currently in the middle of making 6 costumes for dancers, but here is a sneak preview of the costume...
It's based on a retro 1950 - 1960 boy leg swimming costume. The skirt is 3 "petals" gathered and worn as a belt. Now picture it all in green!
The pattern is actually 3 patterns in one. I got a little creative, but like what I came up with. :D
More later.
Well, it's been while, but when you are busy time just flies. :/
My world is a little turned around at the moment. I quit my job of 8 years 2 weeks ago and haven't felt this good in ages. :) I'm sewing lots, and generally feeling less stressful. I've been applying for work, but it's exhausting - and due to my level of experience, it's not an instant thing when finding out how things have gone. *sigh*
Anyway, the video below is a Youtube video that I uploaded. :) They are 2 soft scultpure puppets that I made in 3 days for a show last night. I think it went down well. I'm very happy with the puppets and now have a burning desire to make more! Go watch the video, and watch this space for more videos.. Now that I've found my video camera again! LOL
For those of us that sew as well as glue, here is a sizing chart from the 1960's. You can download it from xxxxxx
EDITED.....
Due to possibly getting caught in the copyright infringement roundabout, I've done some research and discovered that Simpitiy actually has an updated sizing chart downloadable straight from their web site, free of charge! Check it out here
