Resolutions are normally made to be ignored in this house! Which is why I started the Economy Block Along just a day after saying I wouldn't start anything new!!
But, so far I've stuck to the dryathlon, even if I think it was thought up by an angry teetotaller and I've ran three times this week, which has added up to 12 miles. I know this won't last more than two weeks, I'll be a drunk heap without a run under my belt by the last week of January!
Anyway…… one of my sewing resolutions was to get an idea out of my head and onto paper/fabric. My sons friend is obsessed with a cartoon character and I have really been searching for a pattern for it, but have only been able to find two other characters from the series.
Before Christmas with my sons and Google Images help (having never watched it myself) I drew an outline of him.
Then once the children were in bed, I went back to it and when I could finally find no other reason to delay actually sewing it, I made this!
The question is, does he look like he should?
Do you know who he is?
If not, heres what he should look like!
ps. I've also finished all 141 (I don't know how I ended up with the 1!) economy blocks, but after laying them out realise I need 3 more for the 12x12 layout I like! So, I'm off to lie in a dark room to contemplate making more when I thought I was done……..

Yesterday, whilst feeling in a clever/mad mood I sat down and drew, redrafted and threw away a rough paper pieced pattern.

Your version looks really cute. You should add that huge mouth and teeth, lol. I pretty much recognize myself in those resolutions you make ;-)
ReplyDeleteMy son just looked over my shoulder at the computer screen and recognized him straight away!
ReplyDeleteTHAT IS AWESOME!! We are huge Adventure Time fans here....so so sew cool!!!
ReplyDeleteOk I don't know who he is... I need to arch more children TV! It is awesome thou.
ReplyDeleteCool! Definitely recognizable as Fin. My lad loves Adventure time (and so do I)
ReplyDeleteI don't know the original, but after look at images that is a fantastic likeness! Go you on the economy blocks, v impressive. I wont be judging you on starting projects, especially after finding 18 wips when I started counting yesterday!!!
ReplyDeleteOh well done! He looks just great!
ReplyDeleteNo idea who he is either but it sounds like you have caught the likeness well :)
ReplyDeleteVery clever! I didn't know who he was, so looked at the google images and I can see the likeness. Best wishes, Pj x
ReplyDeletewow - you are amazing. I can't imagine designing paper pieced patterns. This is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteAww, so cute! No idea who he is though, sorry!
ReplyDeleteOh, so cute...and you are so creative and talented to be able to get the idea from your head, onto the paper, and then pieced with fabric. I could never do that if my life depended upon it. What a precious character. He puts a smile on my face.
ReplyDeleteIs it strange that I have a five year old but have never heard of him? He does look a lot like the google images I found so well done you x
ReplyDeleteI've never got my head around anything other than stars when it comes to drafting PP patterns. This is awesome, I really envy your skill.
ReplyDeleteI'm here via the Finish Along and I have to say your Finn looks FANTASTIC! The whole family loves Adventure Time and you have really done him justice! Any chance you want to share the pattern, I would LOVE to make one too!
ReplyDeleteI am hunting for a paper peicing pattern for Finn. I don't suppose you want to share your awaesome pattern?????? :-D
