So after lots of procrastination I finally finished the Hottie Cover for this FAB competition.
I had tried to theme this hot water bottle along side the cause the competition-which was in aid of - Margaret Pratt Heart and Lung Transplant Research....I immediately wanted to make the hot water bottle cover like an upper torso. I decided to use felt as I thought it would be practical for a cover and it would be great to see the anatomy of the body in contrasting colours.
UNFORTUNATLEY the felt I got lacked structural integrity and was a pain to work with. The stitching showed up a bit too pronounced on the ribs than I would have liked but this was a project on a budget after buying my new laptop so it will do.
After seeing all the others on Cam's blog I know I should have spent more time on this....some of them are just fantstic!
oh well.... next time!!
I can't wait to see it on display in the gallery in a few weeks!!
