Ta Da!
Owen's birthday present: the rollie pollie!!
Remember this fabric I bought at IKEA:
(this is the one action shot I have: sewing the round part onto the body):
(this is the insert I sewed first. it's the exact same pattern except it's just plain white fabric filled with...)
I didn't use any of the suggestions Dana from Made had. Instead I ordered my foam from these guys:
*super awesome experience (read: easy) and FREE shipping*
After OM, this is my proudest achievement. I think I could even sell one of these puppies. It's store-quality baby. Although, I'm sure my first customer would be pissed when he/she returned home and noticed all of my blatantly funky human-quality stitches (& not super-straight, computerized stitches) and that the seams were zig-zagged (& not serged)...but, I'm pleased!
Even my spectacularly difficult-to-impress-with-my-sewing-skills husband remarked about how professional it looked!
But, what did Owen think?
See below:)
(oooo, I forgot! I made a label too:)
And, maya got owen a full brave knight costume. he's wanted one so bad; he was so happy to get it, it was very sweet:)
Now Maya wants one (rollie pollie) so I'm back to the sewing machine:)
