Hello Kitty has her day!
My oldest sister is a Hello Kitty junkie so I have a hard time passing by anything Hello Kitty or Sanrio. I was going for a large project bag with the Halloween Hello Kitty fabric. It came out very large. I adore the fabric.
The little zipper bags are a bit of a pain to make as they zipper is sewn in by hand. I found some great little charms at the not so-99 cents store and the recent trade show.
brella has some free Totoro patterns on Ravelry and this is her little chibi Totoro. I love his bobble tail. Normally I avoid bobbles as they just seem redundant, but this is a giant bobble and is really quite cute. He is Beaverslide natural, knit with size 4 needles.
February Lady has not budged for awhile. Montego seasilk scarf has been frogged and is trying to become Ysolda's Damson, but definitely not on size 5 needles.
The final day of Shibori was really fun. I got to talk to blogless Doris who has taken the class many times and had some great samples. She disappeared before I whipped my camera out, but I hope to see her again. This time I got the long kim chee making gloves from Palama Market and my fingers were in pretty good shape, but my feet are still blue.
Your shibori is so beautiful; I'm especially in love with the hexagonal patterned one. The Hello Kitty bags are awesome, too. The charms are a great finishing touch. And I had to laugh at your "not so 99 cent store" comment- too true!
ReplyDeletethat fabric is awesome!
ReplyDeleteOH! My heart gave a leap to see the sunny shot of your patio, with the mountain behind it. I love the Shibori so much. I have a dress dyed in indigo, haven't worn it in years, but hang on to it, trying to figure out something cool to do with the fabric.
ReplyDeletei adore the HK bags and the shibori fabrics are just so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteDid I mention how much I love those blues? They're really breathtaking! They're especially nice blowing in the breeze like that. Sigh...
