| This is the mat. Took a long time to cut, heat bond, and applique all the things on it. |
 |
| Cute little fish was difficult only because the material I chose was so hard to sew. |
 |
| Lobster is made from a shiny material with bias tape legs. This was very difficult to turn and stuff. |
 |
| This sea star was hard to keep it's shape because the material was too stretchy. It is very soft and since sea stars are not always really evenly shaped, he works. |
 |
| My seahorse is made from felt so that I did not have to turn him. Each band of color had to be heat bonded and then zigzagged around to cover any spaces and to hold in place permanently. |
 |
| This little turtle is made from a very soft fleece material that stretched a lot when stuffing. It was hard to make his appendages look alike, He really looks like he is swimming. |
 |
| I love the way I finally found a way to make this little octopus' legs look right. In the past he has had them along the side of the bottom of the head, but never looked right. This time, I sewed the three leg sections together and then sewed them into the head and now they sit on the bottom. I love it. |
 |
| This is the dolphin that holds all the animals inside. I wanted to fit the mat, too, but he isn't big enough. Instead, he can just be wrapped with the mat for storage. |
Now that all this is done, I need to start working on the costumes and scenery things for the Christmas Pageant. I have a lot to get done with that. I still have Christmas presents to get finished, too, so there is a lot to work on. Running out of time to get it all done, but I am sure that I will. When I set my mind to something, I do it.
