Puffy Paw construction Pt 2
Combo of machine sewing (claws, toes) and hand sewing (insetting claws) resulting in complete top paws. The bottoms are ready for the beans and pad to be inset into the paw.

Puffy paw construction Pt 1
Made some puffy paws for my SIL for christmas. These were all the pieces for the main paws. I used @Kloofsuit paw pattern as I’ve never constructed paws ‘properly’ before and didn’t want to make my own pattern just yet. Previously I’ve built paws over gloves using foam.
-
Completed summer pinafore. The buttons are non-functional, but I did put in manual machine sewn button holes for the oversized buttons if needed at a later stage.
-
Final major tasks for the pinafore was attaching the pockets, sewing everything together, and some top stitching around the collars to prevent rolling. I’ll finish it up later…
-
Constructing a summer pinafore. It’s delightfully simple, although having to ease 4 seperate collars was irritating.
-
One day diamond paint. This one is very small, but was very satisfying to do.
-
Completed hungry caterpillar shirt (slightly crumpled after being worn). I’m very pleased with how it turned out and I feel I learnt so much about tailoring.
-
Had to edit the armholes as well to fit me properly without having weird shoulder overhang. Once this trimming was complete, I finished with bias cut from the same fabric. I also marked out my button holes and button placement.
-
This is why it’s very important to not cut any excess until you are absolutely sure you’ve done all the tailoring edits you need to. The fit as a sleeveless top wasn’t right for me, so I had to extend the side dart which pulled up the front hemline, and tailor in the side seams. Once this was complete I could trim the excess, layer, flat seam, and hem.
-
Finally finished this damn painting! I really enjoyed it as it was very relaxing to do after work, I just didn’t enioy it taking up space on my kitchen table as long as it did.
