Photo post, since Instagram doesn’t send over multiple photos when I post them there. The Cutest Bat, first sitting on Grandpa’s (my dad’s) lap at his birthday brunch (we had a blueberry muffin with a candle in it, he’ll be 73 tomorrow and I couldn’t stay for Sunday night dinner), then posing on the Monument in the middle of the farmer’s market.
And then, just a random Troy street-front scene as I walked to my car to drive back to Buffalo, because the light was pretty and it’s a pretty street. (That’s 3rd St., I believe, across from the Atrium, featuring Kennedy Hall, center.)
I’m pretty proud of those ears, I’ve never made anything like that before and didn’t look up a pattern or directions or anything. Two layers of black cotton twill from my stash, and a layer of sew-in interfacing; made a sandwich with the interfacing on one outside, then flipped it inside-out so the interfacing was in the middle, and pinched one side and sewed little pleats so the whole thing cupped toward the center, then hand-sewed it into little pinched slots on the hood so that the weight of the hood on her head holds the ears up. They do flop a bit if the hood falls loosely, but mostly they work!
