Instructions
I used PUL to make the lining water-resistant, but it stretched and was difficult to control next to the batting, so I don't recommend it - perhaps if you're willing to tack it in place before sewing!Difficulty:
Category: Sewing
Type of item: Functional
For: Unisex
Style: Whimsical, Funky, Cute, Casual
Materials
Quilting cotton, batting, thread, PUL lining, zip, overlocker
What was your inspiration?
The remnant was just the right size and matched well with the 4-colour threading on the overlocker at the time - anything not to have to rethread when it's working well!
What are you most proud of?
The free-motion stippling around all the eyeballs - you can't really see it, but as my husband said, "It makes a really interesting texture".
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
Use the thinnest batting you can find, then quilt it densely for stiffness - the overlocker really hated the thickness of all these layers (and it's just a thin cotton batting).
