What? You\u2019re spoiled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around the time that I was doing the coke lobster, I saw a reel of a woman who put a fish on her bunny hug. I was going to start with that project first because it was for me and I could get all my mistakes out and make a perfect one for my buddy. That did NOT happen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It started by sourcing materials at Value Village. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue is for the top, orange is the eye, white with mandala for the bottom, stripey in the middle. <\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I really liked the blue fabric and how it played with the other two. What I didn\u2019t like was that blue fabric frayed like frigging crazy. The dogs were walking around wearing threads. Threads ended up in my entire house. I had to re-cut it with pinking shears the second time around because it frayed so much. It was ridiculous. Also, my stupidly long monkey arms. Why are my arms so long? Do you know how hard it is to sew that much fabric in a straight line in a garment that\u2019s already assembled?? VERY HARD. Also, sneak preview of another project I finished last weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was thiiiiiiiiiiis big<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Good joke, right??<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s hilarious about this is I expected to have all kinds of issues with the coke lobster. Turns out I had one single issue where the bobbin was too small and was bouncing around, screwing up the stitching. Otherwise it was absolutely smooth sailing. Whereas THIS mofo had ALLLLL the gee dee issues. I again had bobbin issues (user error, I hadn’t pulled the thread up properly), the fraying OMG the fraying. I also don\u2019t really like how the tail fin came out, but whatever. It\u2019s done and I\u2019m happy with it and I make the joke every second I can. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
