Figment Change Purse (Dec 2023)

I've gotten behind on posting, My laptop died making it hard to get out here. I'm picking up a new one soon! This goes with the Figment Purse on the earlier post. Stopping by Epcot, we found these stuffed Figment heads that really served no purpose, and bought one. Unpicking all the stitching and removing the fluff inside, I made a small purple zippered bag, and then sewed the pieced of the figment head to the outside. Now, a unique coin and other purse.

This Christmas gift is in the books! It was gifted early, because, why wait! I have included the photo path or the build or the How-I-made-this in my 'How-To' section of the web site, for those interested!
 

Figment Big Shirt - Fixed

Bought a shirt at Walt Disney World, in Epcot - a Figment long sleeved, something like a sweatshirt, made of man-made fabrics, more like a woven. It was made as a 'short-shirt', for baring the midriff. Why anyone wearing a long-sleeved sweatshirt like shirt would want to bare their midriff, I can NOT imagine. So, while I like the art that is on the shirt, the Figment in multicolor, the shirt wasn't wearable as it was. We had to buy the very biggest size, and then change it to make it fit. The above was the first pin up of what it might become.

I slit the front, added a non stretch cotton, and then added a multicolor zipper, and took it in, to make it something that could be worn. Now, it's beautiful!

Figment Masks and Bag

Several weeks ago I stopped sewing, I stopped cold. It had little to nothing to do with the pandemic, more to do with immense sadness at the meanness and hate displayed by so many. 

My sister likes Figment. We found a shirt, some socks and some bags at Epcot. I deconstructed one of the bags, just a 12x17" square bag with a drawstring across the top, and created several multi-layered masks and a purse to carry when we visit the parks, which we do several times weekly.
