Journal Notes

Iris and Oliver asked me to make costumes based on their Jelly Cat stuffies. Iris’s is a chocolate macaron, and Oliver’s is a bagel with lox and cream cheese. They shopped for fabric with me, choosing the colors. I did not use Velcro. Each had straps over the shoulders ( each had a piece in back so in effect they were the filling). I used simple ties at the sides to pull the front and back securely together. Both started with the same size circle (finished size 19”) but it’s amazing how much smaller Oliver’s finished! I fused then zigzagged each seed on the bagel.
