This Blooper was for my son, we recieved it today and he absolutly loves it. It was the only thing he wanted for his birthday. He has not put it down since he got home from school. Thanks soooooo much!!!

Wow! I was wondering if it got there safely! What a way to find out!  I'm so glad it made it there in one piece and I'm so thrilled that your son loves it. That's so awesome! 

Thanks everyone!

Bloopers might be my favorite monsters in the Mario universe and I think you've done them justice. Awesome job.

I really had no idea what this creature was called until the guy who commissioned me for it told me who/what it was lol.

Thanks you guys! He was a blast to make. 

It's Blooper the squid from the Super Mario brothers videogames! He's usually the "bad" guy in Mario, but he's not so bad. Just misunderstood. All he needs is a hug.

Made of white fleece and felt with black button eyes. Approximately 14 inches tall. Self-drafted pattern. Custom commission.











And here's the pattern pieces I drafted:


Here's a pic of him from the game for comparison. He's a little fatter...


Thanks for looking! 

Eeep! Sooo cute! You should make Pazzo next! 

JBear;
Bodice pattern. This one was such a pain, lots of trial and error on that. Probably took about 3 times as long as the rest of the dress. If you do decide to make this, feel free to send me a PM if you need any help figuring it out. 
Skirt pattern, Burda #7880
I can't find the link to the corset pattern we used, but it shouldn't be too hard to find a good corset pattern.

Thank you so much for the reply! Whenever I do start making this, I will send a message your way! 

You look so pretty! Great job!  Would you mind posting where you got the patterns from? I've been looking everywhere for some patterns for my wedding dress and this is EXACTLY how I want it to look like!

I really don't know how I missed this! Your owl is so cute! I love how you did its wings and eyes.  Great work!

[THE PROBLEM]

... But I seriously doubt that my sewing skills could handle such a task. 

I was engaged this past July 2009 but my fiance and I haven't set a wedding date. We're waiting till we're both completely finished with school which may be 2 years down the road. But, I'll be graduating (hopefully) this May and I'll start working, but I know once I start working, I'll get caught up and not have time to plan.

Anywho, today I went with my friend to a sewing supply store and they had TOOONS of patterns for FREE! The guy just told me to take as many as I could. I didn't want to horde them all so I just took 5.  Plus, I'm a beginner sewer and I can barely read patterns. I kinda just make up stuff as I go.

This is the pattern I found:


It's discontinued Bellville Sassoon Vogue 1883 and I got the 12-14-16 size. I fell in LOVE with view A and it fit my vision of my wedding dress almost perfectly. Just imagine it in dark ivory/creme with a corset lace-up back and you got it.

THE PROBLEM

I'm a really ghetto sewer. Everything I sew will eventually fall apart. Also, I don't have a dress form (aka too lazy to make my own) and my sewing machine is manic bipolar and likes to EAT fabric at random. I've looked up various seamstresses in my local area (I live in Mississippi) and they are few and far in between. (Also, their unknown skill level is a factor.)

WHAT I NEED

I'm looking for someone who can sew this sucker and do it well. Most likely, I'll be buying the fabric and embellishments and the muslin for the mock-up. I was wondering if you Craftsters out there know anyone on the internets who will take up a task like this.


Oh. Also, here's the video to my engagement: Shiba Inu Proposal It's super awkward and a tad embarrassing. 

And is that a Hanwei Practical Plus Katana I see you holding? Have one myself 

Lol, I have very limited knowledge of katanas.... I just know that mine's different because it has a curvy handle and that you use it differently..... Thanks!
