Hedgehog Shirt, Halloween Costume and Target

Hedgehog Shirt and Halloween Costume



Justin is away on business until tomorrow night, so I had the urge to 'make something!'
Well, it wasn't dinner so this is what Addy and I had:

I had decided a while back that Addison would be an owl and I found a cute homemade picture of an owl costume...why not? :)
 I also have fell in love with applique shirts like the ones from Mini Boden. I found an awesome tutorial and decided to give it a shot.
This is inspired by "THE Hedgehog Shirt" from Mini Boden

My sewing skills need some major improvement, but overall it looks like a hedgehog and if you aren't close to the shirt you shouldn't notice how uneven it is :) Or how I should have blanket-stitched it by hand or how crooked the entire straight stitch is. Oh well ;)

My Little Helper

Hedgehog Applique Shirt
Supplies:
I didn't take a picture of the beige fabric for the body of the hedgehog, b/c I forgot to buy it and ended up using the leftovers from the owl project :)

Trace the figures onto Heat N Bond

Bond to fabric and cut out
Place on shirt and then iron on so they are set

Stitch away, Again...I should have done this different!
Embroider Smile and Eyelashes, add button nose and button red cheek
Trim the one billion loose strings
Boden's Version

Project #2
Owl Costume

One t-shirt and a 1/2 yard each of 2 different fabric choices

Cut the 'feathers'

Arrange the pattern

Start sewing from the bottom of the hem and up , overlapping as you go

Not the best picture, I'll try it on her tonight :)
Addison will wear a black or brown turtleneck with matching leggings as well as her crocheted hat from Etsy that has the owl eyes!

  1. This, quite, is a sanctuary for "escape" gamblers, the type who are more 우리계열 fascinated, Schüll says, in spending time on a machine than in getting massive wins. "Some individuals wish to be bled slowly," an govt of the so-called "Costco model" of gambling says. And while there is a Sex And The City slot machine, there are more rolling walkers than Manolos in view among the many crowd, which tilts older – and, this being Queens, Asian. The economic realities of the gaming business appear to ensure that the St. Petersburg group will continue to flourish. The time period slot machine (short for nickel-in-the-slot machine) was initially also used for automated vending machines but within the 20th century got here to refer nearly exclusively to gambling devices. Set on a bar in a saloon or comparable establishment, such devices attracted wagering between patrons.
