Last Friday, one of Penelope's friends had a birthday party. The theme was purple (Maren's favorite color), and we all dressed up in purple – it was sort of a purple people eater theme. Genius idea, right? In honor of the purple party I made Maren a little purple creature thing with some of the remaining bits of fabric I still have from my favorite SF bay area event: Fabmo. It's been such a long time since I've made a stuffed creature, I forgot how easy & fun they are to make. As soon as I got my sewing machine to work correctly, this purple people creature took about 15 minutes to make. I used a brightly colored canvas material for the body, velvet embroidery thread for the "hair" and a fabric paint pen for the facial features & tramp stamp. Did you make anything fun this weekend? Please share!
