One high-fashion fish and one orange houndstooth. High-fashion, you are wondering? Yes!

This fish fabric was given to me in a bin filled with someone’s cleared out fabric stash. This was the label pinned to it-

Pretty fancy, eh?! Hermes! I love how it started at $150, but eventually got to $32 a yard. That must have still been very expensive in the time when they were still using these kind of labels.


And the Orange Fish-


There are some little fin stitches to keep the fin in place.




This one is made from some rough Mexican fabric in a beautiful dark aqua.





A grey and pink one and a light purple one.






He is all around darker than the last one- Dark flesh tone, darker hair, darker eyes-

He has a beautiful mermaid on his chest and a button with an anchor at his belt.


He has a little tail fin. And a top knot/man bun.



This merman swam off to his new home this weekend!

Here is a close-up of the stitching on his face.


Mermaid on his chest, and some jewels on his belt.



And another mermaid on his back.


I am hoping his hair looks like it is moving in a current.

He has beads on the ends of his beard.

Tall ships and more tall ships! A green glass button and an embroidered rickrack belt-





I love these African fabrics with slightly sparkly, metallic designs. This one makes me think of a seaweed forest.

And this batik fabric looks like bubbles- perfect for a merman’s beard.

Silver rickrack and a glass button-



Yes, he has a man-bun.



Flamingos and aqua hair- he is a tropical merman for sure.

He has little beads on the end of his beard. This is the back of his hair-


Flamingos and Palms. He has a fish bead and silver rickrack at his waist.





He has some awesome tattoos- A rooster on his belly and a goat on his arm. I think he is trying to tell us something.


And look at that awesome moose button!


Next up, some mermen.
