Hopefully, more rabbit sewing will happen soon, since I only have five days left in the month to reach the official 30 Rabbits in 30 Days goal. I had forgotten, until this morning, the EAR PROBLEM. I have two complete rabbits (with ears - that's four), all six other ears needed for white rabbits, four ears for grey rabbits, and the two chenille brown ears. I have to knit 44 more rabbit ears, as well as all the sewing... YIKES!!
But, just in case I finish early, I've got two other sewing projects.
I got my Ravelry loot last week, and let me tell you something about the "fitted" American Apparel t-shirts. "XL" means "Size 8". Remember this when ordering. I am not a size 8 at the present time, but want my cool shirt. So, last weekend, I found an *actual* XL t-shirt that matched the pink of the "Ravelry.com" on the back of the shirt. I then snipped off the sleeves and snipped up the side-seams of the Bob shirt, and got stuck on just how to deconstruct the insane amount of seaming across the back of the neck and the tops of the sleeves. I think it will take actual deconstruction, rather than just snipping. On the other hand, that should give me the extra fabric I need for around the neck (I hope). Yes, I'm totally winging this.
Eventually, I'll have a custom Bob-Yarnpile shirt that I can wear to work!
The other is more mundane and wifely: I get to figure out how to repair my husband's new shirt.
Thankfully, there's probably an embroidery stitch that was first used for repairs - I just have to figure out which one it is!
I would just cut out the bob and use him as an aplique. Then again, I'm lazy at sewing.
ReplyDeleteI would also have used the bob as an applique', no making clothes for me. ;) I'm an artist of fiber not a seamstress. The rabbits are not as big as I was expecting.
