I'm still contemplating whether it's healthy or not.
well, I've been obsessed with making pillows.
go on, call me a freak.
freak!
Now, there are two types of people
those who love Daryl Dixon,
and those who don't know who he is.
his badass iron hard-cotton soft character in The Walking Dead inspired me to make something.
so we made a baby!
It was more like a serious project than something I would do for fun, actually.
I made a pillow in his honour!
it took me about two days to make this pillow.
1st step was to find a quote that I liked.
"Mrs.Dixon" and "lil' asskicker" were too overused (insert inappropriate joke here)
So I decided to go with something sweet and awesome, like hella-hella awesome.
printing is for losers (and rich people). I closed the curtains and sketched lightly with a blunt pencil thrifty? very. |
I used my piano as kind of a second work-area. No joke it felt like I was in some kinda studio. so I taped all my words on it and thought of what to do next. |
ok,so at this point I was like, "guess I'll have to cut every single letter out now" |
Then I got tired and was like "the heck with this!" |
so I just re-sketched the words onto my fabric (felt sheets to be exact) and I did a pretty darn good job I tell ya what! |
Next step was to cut up an old, large t-shirt that I never wear. My pillow will have 2 sides, ^this one on one side, and the other is Daryl's side. |
I'm not a perfectionist (macam orang tu) but this time I made sure they were perfectly spaced |
^when sewing something by hand, shi* will happen. |
but don't worry, got it under control. |
When my pillow was done, I stuffed it like a turkey on thanksgiving. but since we don't celebrate thanksgiving, ikan sumbat sambal. mmmm |
Qistina was super stressed when sewing. me and Sarah were like "lek ah qis, SPM dah habis dah" |
honestly, everytime I see someone in a burka, I automatically sing "Arabian nights" in my head. yes, even with Natasha. |
Our pillows we made |
