Materials:
- 2 pieces of fabric (purple for the body, yellow for the ears) (Wal-Mart)
- stuffing (Wal-Mart)
- thread (my closet)
- sewing machine (also my closet)
- bunny pattern (Martha Stewart)
The first thing I did was print out the template for the bunny, which good ol' Martha Stewart explains is on more than one page, so she put a symbol in the middle to help you connect them. I don't see why it had to span four pages - it easily could have fit on one. So thanks for wasting paper, Martha Stewart.
Then I traced each part onto the material - I didn't have any menswear, like she suggests, so I just picked out fabric that I thought would be fun. Initially it was going to be a yellow bunny with purple ears, but since purple is my favourite colour, I changed it around. However, I haven't yet read the instructions, so all the pieces are purple, and I'm pretty sure something is supposed to be yellow. I'll figure that out tomorrow, when my pupils return to their normal size.
So far this project has not been difficult! Although, I noticed that I should not have used Sharpie to trace the pattern onto the fabric, because in some places it shows through. Probably there's a special pen for that, or I've seen it on t.v. where they use chalk? But I was in a bit of a rush. So I apologize if today doesn't feel like a REAL day of creativity to you; I blame it on my eyes.
Day Five Highlights: not screwing up so far, stuffed bunnies, purple fabric
Day Five Lowlights: saving the hard part for tomorrow instead of getting it over with, giant dilated pupils
Tomorrow: menswear bunny pt. 2! (Although I guess I can't really call it menswear, since it's just regular fabric from Wal-Mart.)
