OK tantrum over I just pieced a little extra fabric onto the bits I had and now I'm good. It's just the lining anyway, not like it's gonna be visible

turns out being really careful about your measurements is fucking USELESS if you note the wrong damn amount needed in the first place

pretty sure the dog is secretly a cat. not cuddly (unless it's on HIS terms), downright aloof, and now he's begging for sushi

Well, I HAVE thimbles now. Now I gotta work out how to use them without feeling like I've lost all manual dexterity

Ha yeah no lasting damage just some very sore fingers

Yup that was it. Thankfully no lasting damage though!

Who needs thimbles, I thought, it's not hard to push a needle through fabric, I thought. Yeah well. Lesson learned. My poor fingers.

First attempt at a bear. Stitching could he neater and I probably should have used a stretch fabric or something fluffy but I don't think it turned out too bad!

This little fella came together surprisingly easily, only took a couple of afternoons by hand. Had to order some felt for the eyes but managed to recycle an old dressing gown for the rest of him. Anyway his name is Squidge and I would die a thousand deaths for him #sewing

Thank you! The embroidery took ages and I really need to work on my thread tension but I'm pleased with how it came out 😊

I'd do a little dance of celebration but then I'd need a lie down. Glad to have participated in this!

I made 87 billion cockups and stabbed myself more times than I'm proud to admit but I sewed a wee fella. Two wee fellas actually. On balance it was probably not smart to try making something that's got curved seams all over the joint.
