Sewing Project!
Here's my latest sewing project. (more pictures, after the jump)
MEOW!
I sewed her head with a baseball-type pattern. My original intention was to have a big round head with a smaller body, but apparantly I made the round parts of the head-pattern too far from each other, resulting in this squarish look.
Despite that it wasn't my original intention, I've come to think of it as a characteristic of the stylization and actually quite adorable!

The body was made in three peices, two for the back and one for the tummy. I was originally going to sew the arms into the side-seams, but was unable to keep them even and so opted for this design, which makes the kitty very cute as it 'sits'.
Is hug tiemz, naow?
The tail is stuffed as well- it's my favorite part! I embroidered the face freehand, with bits of darker fleece for the eyes. For all the main seams I'm using a fairly obvious flat stitching. It gives the plushie an overall handmade comforting sort of ragged feel, which I think really works well.

The collar and bell were a last minute addition. The neck was originally too thin and had to be given a quick tuck to avoid being wobbly. The line left bu this was a bit ugly, soa collar with a bell was the perfect thing! Besides, it's soooo cute.
My next project: a plaid puppy with a similar design. This is so fun!
