Poses & Projects ~ Part 3

They may not look like much from the first pictures, but these panels make up the front and back of the outfit. 

Back

Front

A bit of Velcro and a lot of patience later, and the base body is done. I even managed a little tail in back. Still not guessed what it is yet? 

"Surely this isn't it finished?!"

We add the paws... Nope? No thoughts?

"Hmm... Something's missing here..."

Using the hood template from MakieLab's hoodie pattern I attempted to make a hood for my new creation. It didn't lend itself to the material however and it was just too restrictive. I couldn't even fit Ro's head in without her hair on... 

Back to the drawing board and a strip of felt down the centre between the two original pieces seemed to give a great effect. It isn't the prettiest sewing but that will be easily remedied.

Two eyes, a nose and ears later and we have a finished hood! Even the dog had to have a go trying it on lol

"Better I guess"

"Does this hood look big on me?"

The masterpiece is near enough complete... We finally have a Makie Panda Kigarumi! 

Ro you wild thing! 

Et voila!

Ro still believed something was amiss, until I put her new shoes on to complete the picture...

Panda pumps

They're a bit bigger than I antisipated (I should have paid better attention to the description oops), but a little fabric pushed in front and they stay on well.

I'm ready for my closeup

I have yet to sew the hood to the body piece as I'm unsure if I want to have a full onesie or a two piece I can switch around. Hmmm... Some thought required I guess.

Ro loves it, however Vikare is having reservations about the thought of me making one for him too.

Vikare - "I'm just not the onesie type" 

Rosa-Bella - "Come on Vik. It's fun!

Maybe something a little less out there for Vikare I guess. I'll have to think of something unique :)
