U...is for Underworld

I'm catching up with Katy from www.nobigdill.com

as she Sews Through All 26 letters of the alphabet.

This post is for "U", and You and Nu.

Here's the resident mastermind:

Have you ever seen such a dangerous criminal?

Dressed in black and white prison garb,

after ever so sweetly requesting

a turtleneck just like her sisters so

they could share them.

(cough)

A diet of gruel and water,

she's bad to the bone.

Why,

if released from snack she

might continue kissing dogs.

and spreading her own nefarious version of

embrace.

Poor little Lego figure,

didn't know what hit him with all the smooches.

Some of those won't wash off after all. 

 

As Mike Myers 

(and our good friend Siobhan) says...

"To evil!"

If only it always came with pigtails.



R is for... Red Red Robin

I am playing along with Katy from

nobigdill.com as she

Sews through the 26 letters of the alphabet

 

Today is all about "R".

 

 

 I love this crazy fabric!

 

I mean,

are these guys just cardinals,

or cardinals wearing sunglasses?

Who am I to judge?

 

I think they may also be smirking,

which makes me respect them more.

 

It's like they're in on the joke.

If there is one.

These punks are in on it.

 

It's Cardinal Stagger Organic Cotton Fabric

by Charley Harper for Birch Fabrics.

 

And the avian are Red so they

totally count for R.

 

I like it enough that,

I bought more than one shirt worth. 

 

 

I made a size 3 and a size 5.

 

My 7 year old

(who hates everything I make)

tried on the 5 and it was a hit.

 

I used Jess's Nessie Top pattern

and this time I read it with my eyes open.

 

 

 

Soooo... Yeah!

 



 

The four year old,

has on the 2 year old's

who's napping and therefore not yelling...

 

WHERE'S MY SHIRT?!

 

It's possible I may "have" to churn out #3

 

 

and then take a slightly barfy, slightly matchy

matchy photo of all 3.

 

 

A girl's gotta do it once in a while.

 

This last snap is of Pu doing some weird stretch

But I felt it aptly captured the

distorted super model contortions

that I demand from all my local talent.
