As promised, it's finally time to reveal
my super secret sewing project that everyone was wondering about. My loyal readers already know that the boyfriend is a graffiti artist and that he also
had his birthday last weekend. A year ago I was striving to find the perfect present for him. I gave it a lot of thought, as I wanted something unique and special. Something that would reveal myself and what I think of him. And us. I thought, he's creative, I'm creative. Is there a way to combine our crafts, graffiti and sewing? And I had an idea. I took one of the girl characters he draws on walls - my favourite at the time - and made it into a plush doll.
That was last year. I could go on and on forever analyzing it, but I won't. I will just say the process was extremely time-consuming, as it was all by hand, but I loved every second of it and from what I saw, he loved it too.
This year the pressure was greater, but so were my sewing skills. Plus, I finally had a sewing machine in my disposal, which I put in good use. This is what happened:
And what a happy boy! Happy birthday!
