Death the Kid's Tie

Materials:
White Felt
Black felt
White thread
Stuffing
Hot glue
pin backing

Decided to take up the he duty of poorly making Mellow's tie-skull-thing for Kid.
I made it out of felt, as I had alot lying aorund. I made the pattern myself, which turned out to not help very much cause it turned out looking nothing like the pattern whatsoever. I cut two pieces of white felt out in the shape of the pattern and hand sewed them all the way around, leaving a space at the top of course. I turned it in side out, which was harder than it needed to be. Before stuffing it, I sewed a coup for lines to be able to separate  the "teeth" of the skull so that it would look better when stuffed.
Then stuffing, I ended up stuffing the "teeth" with pipe cleaner because it was too difficult to get normal stuffing in there.  once I was done-ish, I began to sew up the the space at the top, stuffing more as I went along.  When I was finally done with all of that I had to make the eyes/nose. I tried REALLY REALLY hard to make sure that it was as  symetric as possible. Whether I failed or not in the end is up to Mellow. I hot glued the "face" on as well as the pin backing which, of course, went on the back.
It didn't turn out very good....like whatsoever. And if Mellow doesn't like it I entirely understand.

Buuuuuuuut I also made her rings that turned out amazingly.

Patty's Top

I decided to make Patty's top out of a T-shirt instead of a sweater. For two very good reasons, 1.) Sweater material is extremely annoying to work with. 2.) I don't have any money or time.
First, I ripped the seems on both arms.  I put the shirt on and pinned the arms so that I knew where to hem them, this is also when I drew the line to know where to cut the shirt off. Afterwards, I cut the shirt, and hemmed the bottom with enough room to put the elastic through later. Made the turtle neck type collar out of the fabric from the bottom.

And that's basically it.
