Ma-Jig

I had a great day of sewing today fitted in around all the other far less interesting bits of the day and here she is the first ma-jig! I am really pleased with how she turned out, I just made what I was thinking and it worked even better than I thought. I especially like her hair which was a last minute addition and I think just makes her, running a comb through the wool gave it a great effect.
Its funny how things open up to you when you are motivated isn't it. I stopped in at savers this morning after getting the same old black lawn at spotlight for a sling and happened upon three awesome pieces of retro fabric! I haven't found any decent fabric at savers for yonks and here are three big pieces. I was pretty stuck in the just making slings mindset but now I'm just going to make whatever strikes me I feel much freer, yay.

CAthie I love your Ma-Jig! So funky and original and cute and WOW! And yes, the hair rocks, definitely! Am very pleased for you that you have entered a new creative stream, that is very exciting, coming from someone who's creativity is a bit stunted and in need of serious TLC. I have a wizz bang sewing machine, lots of fabric stashed away, and the odd urge, I should definitely do something. I think you have inspired me as well as Liz!
