Meet Mrs Bumble

I have a friend at work that is CrAzY about Yeti.  

She is expecting a baby and she is decorating the nursery in a Yeti theme.  

I remembered a pattern for Bumble from the Rudolph tv show and went on the hunt for it. 

 It is at a site called Fandom In Stitches.

If you are looking for something that has a fan base you may want to look there first. 

 Disney?  Harry Potter? Comics and super heros?  They have all of that plus more!  

I thought that was where I had seen Bumble and I was right!   

 It is under the Holiday Favorites tab.

OK so paper piecing it is.  It was relatively easy except for two things. 

1- The larger bottom section printed off the paper (not scaled of course).  

I printed it out smaller and measured the differences and

 translated it to my pattern which was successful.  

2-The pattern had all the pieces colored, which was so helpful. 

 All except for the background pieces!  UGH.  

I had to try to figure out what colors went where and 

did no small amount of ripping out and replacing until I got it correct.  

Of course inspector Autumn was right on "helping me"

Take a look at this eye section!

Here is Mrs Bumble all finished and trimmed up.  

My friend is having a little girl so the Bumble had to be in pink of course! 

Still considering adding a bow too. 

I wanted to make this a pillow cover so I had to add to the background.  

I would have made it larger but that is all the pink PB fabric I own right there.  

I went ahead and made a quick envelope back for it and it is all finished!

I just need to purchase a pillow form to go inside and it will be ready to gift

Well, unless I decide it needs a bow, which I would do first.  

What do you think?  

Bow or no bow?

What did you work on over the weekend?
