Maybe I should say "Robots invade PieKnits" for I've definitely had robots on the brain lately. When I found this skirt thrifting I thought it had potential even though as it was it was a bit plain. Loving all things kitschy space related I decided it needed a little robot peaking up from the hem.
Wee Mr. Robot applique here was made from felt that I fabric glued into place then embroidered down the edges with blanket stitch (nice tutorial here). I really like fabric gluing when small pieces are involved. With pins it always seems to warp the pieces enough to be annoying.
Vintage buttons and ric-rac from the stash worked well for his embellishments and also added some colorfulness that was otherwise lacking.
Darling!
Awww.. cute! I love it.
Cute!
Wow, that's super cute, way to go!
I don't know how you came up with the robot, its such a great idea and looks really good. I think that will catch on.
okay, that skirt is SO awesome. Who doesn't love robots?! But I have to say, I'm in love with your shoes in that last pic. Utterly fabulous shoes.
So cute! And the shoes are *awesome*!
So cute!
Ha ha, that's so funny and whimsical! You're very clever for thinking of that!
Super cute Mr. Roboto! And I love the color of your shoes, who makes them?
