The whale project
Awhile ago, I mentioned my super talented friend was helping me out with a little sewing project. A week ago I received the finished product in the mail and I could not be more pleased with the results. I saw these charming whales in my local fabric store window and from the moment I saw them I knew I wanted to make one of my very own.
Here are the supplies you will need:
Materials:
- 1/2 yard fabric (I chose to use two fabrics, one for each side with contrasting fins.)
- Thread
- Two zippers (I chose navy with metal teeth for contrast.)
- Scrap of fabric (to be used behind your zipper, seen only when unzipped)
- One skein Perle cotton/embroidery floss
- Five to eight ounces of fiber fill or similar
Tools:
- Printed PDF Blue Whale pattern template (I decided to make my whale a little smaller, so I just free handed the pattern)
- Paper scissors
- Fabric scissors
- Rotary cutter
- Ruler
- Hand sewing needle/embroidery needle
- Fabric marker(s) (At least one is erasable.)
- Point turner
