xD I was advised by fellow Main Street Maniacs to make a thread on sewing projects, so I'll start it off with my first Sewing Machine-made project:

((THE PROJECT IS THE HAT, NOT THE PRETTY BUILD A BEAR REINDEER MODELLING IT FOR ME))

It started out as a sewing machine test on about $5 of fabric from the fabric store(that was a magical visit, gazillions of fabrics.. I must return soon when I have money.) But I wasn't certain my home-designed pattern would pan out on the first try, so I didn't even get fabric for lining it.. some other fabric is on order though that I will use some of for some careful lining additions after the fact, so I haven't hemmed off the edges just yet..

It's nothing professional quality, but I hope it holds up over time cause it's almost just what I wanted in a hat. xP The fabric is fleece, the inner ear is felt, I believe. I'm not as Crafty as I want to be yet, but it's a start. :[]

But enough about my project xP, what about yours?

That is such a great design you've made! I love the way it looks! Did you make the pattern pieces yourself? And if so, what did you make the pattern pieces out of?!

I love sewing, it's so much fun!! This is a great topic you've started, I'll definitely see about taking some pictures and posting them :D

The paper pattern I measured and drew myself, but took ideas from existing designs to use to make mine the best it can be, the main fabric is fleece and the inner ear is felt; I'm not sure how well it will hold up with time but hopefully a while at least.

Heehee, I wish I got to make it all on my own, but the unstuffed bearreindeer was made beforehand. ;~; I was there to see him "come to life" though xD ((He's named Zephery))

You did a terrific job making the pattern! You should totally post a picture of your sewing machine and sewing area, I love looking at other people's sewing places :D Mine is such a mess lol
