Bunting 002: All Hallows' Eve

“That is so fucking cute, Kelly-goddamned-Hogaboom!” Yeah. Well at least I think so. In fact the only thing I liked better that picturing this bunting from the very second I saw the fabric at Hart’s website was every detail of construction. Like underlining it with fusible wadding and appliqueing bright orange stars and then basting in the pumpkin-orange zipper and waxing thread to finish with handsewing while watching a soccer game:

On My Way

and of course the super-super soft and deep green fleece I lined the whole thing with.

So. Soft.

Oh right, forgot to mention – I thought I’d make another one, a bit less sweet and a bit more gruesome:

Bunting 001: Zombi (Looming)

My sewing room and I are like a couple honeymooners. I can’t wait to get back there and mess around. OK, ew. So what I really mean is, I’m having such a wonderful time making exactly what I want. And you know what I want? More babies, out and about, everywhere. These buntings are so warm they can be out all night trick or treating. Until they fall asleep while nursing in the sling.

I’ve put these abovepictured items up for sale: All Hallows’ Eve and Zombi in my wee little boutique. I’ve already got my next projects – seasonal for the approaching cold weather – out on the slab.

Deeply, truly good times.

    …and hear I am wondering why I have a Cranberries song stuck in my head. My oldest loved that song when she was little.

    Ha, no! But there were some fortunate accidents in construction (NERD AWARD for anyone who gets lyric reference without googling!). Incidentally I usually match center front plackets but in this case, since the entire body is cut from one piece, I would have had to add a back seam, and – nah.

    & I OD’d on that excellent Cranberries album in college!

    Thank you!

    @Medrie
    Thanks! Yes, I just for the first time used the fusible wadding. I am totally digging it!

    Fucking awesome. These make my boobs hurt for wanting another baby, seriously!(I’m weird.) Which makes me all the more sad since that ain’t happenin’, but still….
