pingu

Do you guys remember pingu from your childhood?

(claymation : pingu is great, but I have to admit that I prefer when there is dialogue...like Wallace and Gromit)

I'm not even sure if it came to the States, or if I only ever saw it in Canada (insert Canada joke here). This is what I thought of as I worked on my latest sewing project:

(look! I'm a penguin!)

(Now I have little orange feet, finally, I can stand on my own!)

(Maybe if Alina had any small black buttons I would have real eyes, alas-hand stitched it is)

So he's a little sloppy (mostly because I didn't take a whole lot of time to hand stitch the closing on the wings, or the back. And I didn't leave a large enough seam allowance, I was just trying to see what result I would get, and, well, I was lazy. Unfortunately, this means that I can see some of the stitching (done with black thread...gasp!), and also that his belly could open up at any moment.

(Yes, he did get tagged...)

(So did this robot skirt: For my sister, not for me...sadly)

C'est tout.
