Title: My current project
Post by: soera on February 27, 2013, 07:46:40 pm
I bought a blue bean bag about a month ago from the Goodwill with the thought in mind that its going to be partially used to sit on but its also going to get 2 eyes and a mouth sewn on it and its going to be a large slime plush :) Well, today I went and got the material and cut it all out. Its already looking cool but now I have the torture of lots of hand sewing. Ill post a few pics when its done.

Sounds awesome. You're just a regular Betsy Ross, aren't you?

Ah, yeah, hand sewing is a pain.  But it adds a nice character that you just can't get from machine sewing.

Soera that sounds really cool! Can't wait to see the progress pictures. I wish you luck, keep us posted! =D By the way, what material are you using to give the slime impression?

Some really generic fabric. Only cost me like $4 and I got too much of the stuff as it is.

Make sure you take pictures of the whole process. I can't wait to see what it looks like when you are done.

Here's a pic of the pieces fitted on there. :) I got lucky with making the mouth as I had to hand draw it.

Its funny you say that. My wife seems to think I should be a seamstress or a nail tech. Neither job is fitting for the guy I am!

That looks great soera!
It would be awesome if you could find other colors and have an army of slime beanbags :D

Make a silver one that runs away when you go to sit on it. But if you do manage to sit in it, its the most comfy. Ha
