There is a Monster in My House!

I believe it is an alien! LOL

 I used my Crafter's Edge Alien Space Die set to make this cute little reading pillow for my DGD.

She loves to read and be read stories. The last time she visited, she noticed I had a pillow behind my back when I sat down and she 'needed' one too.  I thought this cute little alien would fit perfectly since she loves pretending there are "mon-sirs" in the house. (She hasn't quite mastered the 'st' sound yet ;-) )

I made all the 'legs' the arms and the antenna 3-D using a fusible product to secure my fabric pieces together before cutting.  

I took in a little excess at the corners so they didn't poke out~

I am not a big fan of pointed corners and sewing the corners this way really helps.

I can hardly wait until my DGD's next visit to see her reaction to my monster. :-)

 

I just got home from a retreat and got so much done! Unfortunately most of the things I finished are Christmas gifts~ so no pix yet.  Christmas is in the air here and I am sewing like mad!! :-)

 

Until next time~

Happy Stitchin'!!
