Unicorn Taxidermy



"His horn sparkles with the shimmer of little rainbows from the inside out! His mane and tail blow softly in the breeze! He is attached to a base so that he will stand securely and not tip over. He was made from a baby lamb that died of natural causes shortly after birth. I crafted the piece into the likeness of a unicorn."

My sister-in-law visited a while back and she had the most adorable little "panty traveler" as she called it. It was a little bag for in your suitcase for you clean/dirty undies. (I don't really love the idea of United Airlines staff opening my bags and finding my underwear on top, especially worn pairs!)




Sorry for the bad pictures of the original - sis-in-law doesn't live here so the pics were all I had to work from. Someone told me they saw these at Gap Body so they're probably not expensive, but it's more fun to make your own, I think. And a good use for little scraps of fabric.

So, I thought it would be easy to make and a great gift. I invited a few of my girlfriends over for a sort of craft workshop and let them know they could do whatever they wanted, but if they wanted to make a "panty traveler", I would help guide them. It ended up being a really fun day and everyone had a great time and some of us even finished our projects.

Here's my friend Mel with her finished bag:


So cute! Mel AND her bag.

Anyway, I plan to make a couple for gifts and I think it's probably pretty easy for all of you to figure out how to make them. I keep meaning to make tutorials and never get around to it. Sorry.

More pics of the event, and lots more of what I've been up to, sewing-wise, at my journal page.

Happy Holidays to all my Sew Hip friends!!!
