PATCHWORK WAISTCOAT.

 

Patchwork, mess-ups and buttons!


For mothers day I made my Mum a patchwork waistcoat. It was my very first attempt at making a piece of clothing and so of course I screwed it up. It ended up being a bit shorter than I had planned and I messed up one of the arm pits. :/

 
It's was pretty fun to make apart from the fact I kept worrying every five minutes that it wasn't going to get finish in time, or that I was going to completely mess it up, or that I was going to run out of material because it took quite a lot of material to make.

 
Mum loves it despite all the mistakes. :)

CROCHET GODZILLA 2000.

 

'Godzillarace' the Abomination.

 

OK. so first off, before I get start talking about what things I have been doing, I know it's been a very long time slice I've posted anything, but believe it or not my life has actually been VERY busy, not all in a good way though. :( There have been a few good things happen, but unfortunately a lot of really bad things, so I do apologise to you for not posting, and yes I am apologising to you, the one person who reads my blog. :P so I will make a few posts today.

Now on to the craft! It was my brothers birthday last month and for his birthday I made him, take a guess............. common guess..... a crocheted thing! yep a good old reliable crocheted thing. Well it's not exactly a "thing" it's a crocheted Godzilla 2000, or as I like to call him, because I completely messed him up, 'Godzillarace' the Abomination. I used a 3.00 mm hook and 4 ply cotton. I will post the pattern.....eventually, when I could be bothered to fix it because it's very messy.

 

Did I mention I hate Godzilla? I use to like him, but now I really, really don't :P , everything about him is so annoying, especially how disproportioned he is. As I was crocheting him I kept thinking I was making him all wrong, but no, Godzilla is really THAT strange in real life, I mean in film making life, I mean, oh whatever. Even though Godzilla is supposed to be disproportioned, I still think I made the legs too big and put them in the wrong place!!!


I am happy with the teeth though, but not the frills, oh how I hate them, they're just such a horrible colour. If you are wondering why they are such a horrible colour it's because the colour of the real Godzilla 2000 frills are hard to discern, and so because I couldn't decide what colour to do them I picked multi-coloured, which was a mistake. But the strange thing is, that as I was adding more of them to Godzilla, it just looked better in it's owe horrible way. My Mum said to think of them like sequins on Liberace's jacket, the more you added the better it looked. (I still hate the frills though).

 
Well I hope you have enjoy this blog post, of me complaining about everything! :P
