Gnomies are my Homies

[missannapants]

I have a slight obsession with gnomes, to say the least. I have over 30 lawn gnomes, have done many paintings of gnomes, and already have 4 shirts with gnomes, to illustrate my point. So when I saw this hoodie in the Delia's catalogue, I decided I must have one like it. However, $45 plus shipping and handling is much more than I can afford, so here's my version:


The inside of the heart is polka-dotted fabric, and the border around it and on the pockets is a red rickrack-sort of thing. For the gnome, I did an iron-on transfer (yes, it's the Travelocity gnome )


I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out on the baby rib material, but I think it turned out pretty well. Sorry the picture is so bright.

I think I might add something else, but I'm not sure what... it just doesn't seem completely finished to me. Any suggestions?

Your version is much better. And the Travelocity Gnome!!!! I love him, hes soooo funny. Great job.

I like the contrasting zipper in the original, so maybe a blue or red zipper? I'd do blue.

I love the original but I hate the part around the neck, so I'm glad you ommitted it. Very cute job.

this is so neat!! I too wanted the same hoodie, and I almost put down the dough for it too!! I had it in my cart, but then said nah, coz of how much it was! I am so thrilled to see that someone made one. I am a yardgnome finatic as well!!

gnomes are awesome! and the way he peeks out from behind the pocket is just too cute, priceless!

It's very nice, I like how you got rid of the neck part, too.
Was it supposed to be some type of beard for you?

Haha, now that you mention it, the neck part does kind of look like a beard. In the Delia's catalogue they refered to it as a "bib", which I suppose makes sense.
