Bill Skirt, Part II

So this is the follow-up to the Bill Skirt Post. I was finally able to give the skirt to Grip N Flip.






















And basically we found that her 16 year old legs were definitely not as sexy as my stepmoms' 50 year old legs. It's a sad but true fact of life.

The skirt turned out pretty well . . . . I think?

LEO Pillows

For Spoon's LEO Club, they had their final gift exchanges. Their SL (Secret Lions) were revealed. A final gift was given to their SL recipient, and a gift back to their SL giver. Meaning that I had two gifts to produce. We decided to make pillows for the both of them.

The first gift for her SL giver. We were inspired by this sign, which Spoon received when she was accepted into the club.

I enlarged the lion image and used it as a template for the pillow.


We decided to do free standing letters to give the pillow a novel look. It took me a few tries to produce, since it was harder to do free standing letters as opposed to stitching letters onto a rectangular pillow. Eventually, I was able to achieve a look I was satisfied with.

This is the finished product:

For her SL recipient, we created a lion head pillow. I had Spoon sketch me a lion head to size. This was a lot easier than the first pillow. The lion head is actually a separate pillow and cover. This way her SL recipient will be able to wash the cover.

I hated this pillow at first. I was dissatisfied with how it turned out. But being pressed for time, there was no chance to fix it's imperfections. Later upon reevaluation, I've come to realize that this pillow is perfectly fine and I was just crazy.


I was told by Spoon that these pillows were a huge hit. And there is talk about doing more. We'll see how that will turn out.
