More unmotivated sewing - the Ugly Owl!
Feb. 19th, 2009 10:35 pmI have a new acronym now for this kind of stuff: NMBW: Not My Best Work. I just can't get enthusiastic about creating with my sewing machines right now.
I give you: THE UGLY OWL! It's a stash-buster, what can I say? I didn't buy any flannelette for this baby... and I've had the pieces sitting in a plastic bag for MONTHS waiting for me to feel so much like not sewing that I had nothing better bundled for my Wednesday night sewing circle.
Actually, the front is kind of cute. And it's not finished, because the seams haven't been clipped and the quilt hasn't been washed to fluff up the frayed edges, and my Sharpie is starting to look pretty good right now, as far as outlining the eyes, wings, and feet on the back go. I was thinking I'd EMBROIDER those outlines, and I think I don't want to have my hands in it that much longer.
Cross-posted to my journal.
I just don't have the same calibre of boy-y flannels as I do girly.
OK, here you go: the back. The cat likes it, at least.
The front's kind of cute, too. And it'll soften up when it's been clipped and washed and the lint and threads have all been shovelled out of my washing machine and dryer...
Anyway, I'm glad to be rid of it.
Do you think I should outline the face and belly on the back, or just leave it?
