I Gave Birth To This Sewing Abomination

Kawaii♥!



I did this sorta askewed stuffed animal while I completed my tailoring apprenticeship. When I started it, I had no idea it would come to resemble a weiner dog.

And then I thought maybe it could double as a sorta blowup doll for my dog back home. But he's just as neutered as Hugh Heifner on a Ritalin choo-choo. So I refined this fabric masterpiece and this is how it turned out:

Flying Doggie!

Under Dog✩ (Talk about recycling...did I mention it was made from an old sweater from Goodwill?)

I feel dirty! No redrocketing here folks!


Stand up! Good boy!


We have the technology to rebuild him...


It took me 2 hrs to make this bad boy, plus 5 min to hand-sew the buttons on.

Boy-o, using a sewing machine RULES! I once mended 5 pairs of socks and took me about 6 hrs. If you have the machine, by all means use it! Another thing that sucks about hand sewing? If your fabric is too thick you have to use a lot of force to push that needle thru. That's where a thimble comes in handy. But your fingers get tender in the end regardless.

Maybe next time I'll crochet a condom or something. More riveting updates L8TR!
