slice fabrique project…

Remember last autumn when I shared some fun Slice Fabrique projects with you? 

(here’s a link to the other posts 1, 2, 3)

Well, there are a couple more projects I haven’t shared yet. 

This little jacket is one of them.

 

There is actually a funny (kind of) story about this jacket.  You see, my original plan was to create a monkey hanging off the shoulder of this jacket.  I cut out, pieced together, and stitched the little monkey and started to iron him on…and quickly realized that I shouldn’t have tried to iron anything onto this jacket…it started to melt.  Yikes. 

I was totally stressing since Making Memories had sent me specific articles of clothing that I was supposed to embellish.  A jacket with melted holes?  Not good.

I figured all was lost and I was probably going to make someone angry…but I had a lot of work to do, so I moved on.  I was able to salvage the monkey and I attached him to the back pocket of these overalls and started working on something else.  (I think he looks cuter hanging off the pocket anyway.)

After everything else was complete, I decided to revisit the coat.  After checking out all of the slice card images, I decided maybe I could cover the melted portions with the rocketship on the Playtime card. 

What do you think?  If you look really closely you can see a bit of the melted parts…but I think I covered it pretty well.  Between the rocket and the strategically placed stars, hopefully the holes aren’t too obvious.

I added some more stars to the pocket to tie it all together – and sent it away with the other projects. :o)

P.S. I used fabric glue to attach the rocketship and stars the second time around…no heat! :o)
