I put the head and body onto yet more adhesive interfacing and sewed over all the bits of fabric.
Then I pinned and sewed it to the background which had a layer of cotton batting under it and a calico backing. (I won't use calico again, it is rather boring even as a background.)
The pig was sewn onto the layers and I quilted a rough clover leaf pattern to hold it together.
The border is on, all I have to do now is put on a hanging sleeve - later.
Photos taken at different times of the day, mostly evenings, give very different images!
What fun Mary! It just makes me smile :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, my sister finds it creepy!
ReplyDeleteReally?
ReplyDeletereally!
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I think Pig is quite cute. I feel quite guilty about the pile of fabric scrapes I have just ditched in recycle bin though. I was at a loss to understand my dogged need to hold on to them and their usefulness and can now see they are very useful!
ReplyDeleteYes, I know what you mean - I have a LOT of scraps. Now I tend to keep them all and it can get out of hand.
ReplyDeleteBut this does use them up. All I have to do is find something to do with my Pig. Maybe give it to a young relative. I did the background bright in case I give it to a child.
Apparently Peppa Pig is a huge hit with young ones, so I'm sure some lucky child will love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I hope I can find a good home for it.
