OMG! HE IS FINISHED!

You won't BELIEVE what project I finally finished!  Now, the project on a whole, while somewhat difficult and time-consuming, was no time-consuming enough to warrant the amount of time it took me to make him.  He kept getting stashed away in a bag in the corner.  But I was determined to finish before I left for France.  Go me :)

THAT'S RIGHT!  I FINISHED TOOTHLESS!!!!  Well, mostly finished.  Unfortunately, I don't believe I'll have time to make his saddle or his prosthetic tail-wing, but he'll be okay.  No flying for him, I'll just have to carry him everywhere.
I'm SO excited to have finished though.  Quite an ordeal!  Pattern is my own, made by studying various pictures of him for a long amount of time.  I love him, for all his faults :)

Please excuse all the pictures, I just love him so much!  He's soft and floppy and oh so cute!  Yardstick for comparison.  And me for comparison!  Big Toothless!  I have to find a way to fit him in my luggage.

And yea, I obviously lied about catching up on posting all my finished dresses, but whatever.  I'll get around to it!

 

Sewing Project: TARDIS Camera Case

What better to protect my camera as it captures and records all my travels?

 

I played with the idea of writing 'Police Box' on it, but it made it look cheap.  Plus, since it is already a short and squat Tardis I'll just call it 'abstract' and not worry about the writing :)   It has a layer of batting in it, swirly star lining I stole from my mother's stash (I thought it was apt), and a button hole on the top for my wrist strap to go through.  I made the velcro on the outside white to look like the windows.  The windows and black are appliqued on and the decorative lines are obviously quilted.   I made it with this tutorial, with a few changes because of my Tardis design, obviously.  I'm very happy with how it turned out, and it fits much better than the last case a made a few years back.  I love it :)  No one I have met has known what it was though :P  Their loss.
