It really wasn't hard to make this guitar. I looked at some pictures, then freehanded one onto a few pieces of junk mail taped together to make my pattern. I then did all the obvious stuff, like pinned it onto the fabric, cut it out, put the fabric right sides together and repinned, and then sewed around the perimeter. I left two holes for stuffing, one at the bottom and one in the neck of the guitar. I turned it right side out, ironed it, and then realized I forgot to sew on the felt pieces. I ended up just using hem tape and my trusty iron to attach the felt pieces. Hem tape is my best friend.
I then stuffed the little guitar with thrifted still-in-the-package polyfill, and then topstitched the openings closed. That part sucked, but I don't think Joel will notice. He'll be too busy rockin' out to Def Lepard and Guns and Roses. Ah, those were the days.
Here's a closeup of the fabric choice
Ah, yes, def leppard and guns n roses! is there any other way? Maybe he could be in our wedding(if that ever happens, haha), cuz I have joked about walking down the aisle to one of those bands songs!
ReplyDeleteMaybe we should make adult guitar stuffies so we can all rock out together! I even have an 80s wig and a microphone! hehe
