The Coolest Thing I've Ever Sewn

[pyjamapants]

You may have heard me griping about the amount of sewing I signed on to do for gifts this year. It all went relatively well, if last minute. As always, I chose projects that were a bit ambitious considering I'd not sewn in, um, 7 years. But I want to show off the Coolest Thing EVER.

I made Mr. PjPants' cousin (magicallydelicious on TPP) a handbag fashioned to look like d12. It turned out beautifully with the exception of the lid. MD was ECSTATIC when she received it. Now I just have to wrestle it back so that I can craft a new pattern for the lid.



And yes, the numbers were painstakingly hand-appliqued. That reminds me... I need to pick up some FrayCheck from the craft store tomorrow. The original pattern for the handbag can be found here.

That's what you were making when you complained about no press-and-stick numbers.

That is SO cool!! I am all sorts of jealous!

Yup! That was it!

I'm pleased now that the ready-made numbers were too spendy. I don't think they would have looked nearly as cool.

And I probably wouldn't have complained so much if I'd not waited until the last minute.

Brilliant! I'm always awed by you people who can do crafty things. I'm challenged by sewing on Scout badges and using a glue stick. Now for a d20, eh?

If I wasn't nearly certain that a d20 would be entirely lopsided, I'd tackle it in a heartbeat. Perhaps later when I've had a chance to bring my skills a bit more up to speed.
