So I made her a Hazel the Hedgehog pillow. I used a bunch of fabrics from stash, including a bit of my favorite tree batik print for his eyes and nose. The background is a white on white stripe that came into my collection at some unidentified point. I can't remember purchasing it...yet, there it was...
The back doesn't quite match the front, but I like it. (It reminded me of some of S's handpainted fabrics too.) I used an envelope closure, but I like the binding finish on the panels that the pattern suggested. I do a lot of envelope closures for my cushions--usually because I don't have the right size zipper on hand and I can't be bothered to go to the store or wait--and I think I'll start adding the binding. Time will tell.
This is finish #3 of 14 off my Q2 FAL list, woo! Now, to get those other eleven done!
You are on a roll! I love the binding closer for the envelope back - it looks so finished. :)
ReplyDeleteAhh the hedgehog is so amazing! Also those pj pants? Inspired. I've been lurking around and enjoying living a sewing life vicariously! Keep up the awesome work, super woman.
ReplyDeleteI love my hedgehog! He is sitting on my couch right now, cuddling with my ostriches and flamingo. Thank you again!!! <3
ReplyDeleteA great gift - who wouldn't love a hedgehog pillow!
ReplyDeleteI love your pillow, it is so cute and a great finish. I'm helping Adrianne with the FAL and I am to say that I am visiting as part of the 2015 FAL Cheerleading Team.
