The plushies are taking over my life ...I spent most of last night getting pants put on Bob in between trying to get some posts put up but I am happy to report that he was fully clothed before I went to bed last night ...

Knowing that I had three more plushies waiting on pants and boots, etc. for me I decided to take some of my sewing to work with me this morning and managed to work on boots and pants in between dispatches. What good is it to be an excellent multi-tasker and not take advantage of it every once in awhile? At one point my supervisor did ask me what on earth I was making and when I told him "Pants", his response was "For who? Midgets?" I guess it might have looked that way to the uninitiated!
At any rate, I did manage to get all three pair partially done along with the two pair of boots and when I got home this afternoon I spent a good hour and a half fitting Ray's pants on him. It's a lot tougher than it might seem as the plushies have very wide feet and very tiny waists so you can't just make a traditional pair of pants - you have to make them almost in pieces. Not being overly crafty, it took me awhile to figure this out but so far the process seems to be working. So here we have three of the boys in the band looking pretty good if you ask me ...


okay...I can so hear that teenage girl voice....

I'm beginning to think you might have to give up your "day" job to take on the role of full-time Plushie Seamstress. And BTW, you rock as a crafty seamstress!!
ReplyDeleteSew what's new, Linda?
ReplyDeletetee hee
the dolls are cute, and you seem to be having much fun with them. Especially dressing the males.
Now I can say I've seen Gerard without any pants...

You've got a proper production company running there!
ReplyDeleteThose are really cool. But how come they get shirts before they get pants?
ReplyDeleteAt least wrap a little towel or something around them while they wait!
