I’ve tried something new- a twist on my man pattern. I’ve been thinking about it for a long while now and finally got to figuring out the tweaks and sewing him up.

It is fun to go through my supplies- which toile would work for a sea creature? Which patterns and colors would make a good tail? And sea hair, what does that look like? What about trims?

Here is the back of his hair.

I like how the rick rack works but I found a lot of other trims that I will experiment with too.

I am excited at all the possibilities. That is what keeps me interested and making.

I thought that skeletons on a boat, pirate skeletons, worked well for the underwater theme.

There are more in the pipeline!
