It was SO dark just a few minutes before I headed out to the bus stop with Leon this morning. It lightened up JUST a little but I can't imagine standing out there in the dark, waiting for the bus. It's time for the time change, huh...
I saw that Massachusetts voted to not do the time change anymore. Wow...
Below is what I'm making currently. The other project with the strips of upholstery fabric is on hold as I don't think it can be completed by Christmas. At least not in the condition I would like it in. Still thinking on that. But in the meanwhile, Leon had asked for one of these quite a while ago, so I'm attempting it for a Christmas gift for him.
I found a bin at Walmart of Fleece throws for $2.50 a piece and they were in the gray and blue. Exact shades as this! What luck! With remnants from former projects, this will cost me maybe $3.50 to make. Woohoo!
This is what it currently looks like so far.
I've made a pattern, just a smidge narrower than the original. And will make it again with mermaid type things for a gift this year for another child if it turns out.
I just need to figure out how to do the teeth so they won't be poky and judging from the looks of the original, the teeth need to be sewn in first. I'm thinking lots of large squares of single layer super thick fleece?... Those teeth look like 90 degree angles, right?
I'm planning on going to see my parents this weekend to celebrate my dad's upcoming birthday. AND planning on singing a LOT on the drive. If my cold doesn't hinder my voice...
Have a great weekend!
Love McVal

I think the teeth is one strip of white cut to points, not separate pieces. Would be easier to sew that way?
That's a great gift idea! Don't you love it when fabric plans come together?
