I made this for Beard, and decided to give it to him before his birthday in honor of the first barbecue of the season. And because I couldn't keep it to myself any longer. In case you're wondering, those are the beady eyes of bears, raccoons, moose, elk, wolves, and maybe even a buffalo or two staring out at you. When I bought this stuff from JoAnn's, the woman who cut it said, "They just look so... lifelike." And she didn't mean it in a positive way.Why creepy forest friends, you ask? Because apparently fabric with raw meat printed on it is not readily available. Someone is missing out on the business of an important seamstress demographic.
Thanks to Benton for modeling the garment, and for swilling wine with me during its creation.

Hey Megan!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for cute skirt/dress patterns -- do you have a particular brand (Simplicity etc.) and/or place you prefer to go for such things.
JoAnn's?
Thanks ma'lady.

and my favorite fabric dealer is fabric depot. it's ginormous, and they have lots of sales. www.fabricdepot.com. but... if you really want to splurge, check out Bolt on alberta. good stuff. and there's a coupon in the chinook book!
