*Today is the last day for my Halloween Giveaway*
I was listening to Pandora when a Robots In Disguise song came on: "Voodoo". As I was singing along to the catchy semi eleoctropop song I decided I should make a voodoo doll for Halloween.
Instead of wasting material that I may need later I went through my scraps and sewed a bunch of strips together to make two decent sized pieces of fabric. I actually really liked the mismatched look this produced.
I drew a haphazard little man on some card stock and then traced it onto both pieces of fabric. I messed this up because I should have turned the card stock over when tracing it on one of the pieces of fabric so they would line up with my bad drawing.
I hand sew the pieces together inside out. I ended up re-watching American Horror Story while doing this. Twisty the clown is haunting my dreams.
I sewed every part except the top of the head and then turned him right side out. Using some embroidery thread I stitched some eyes and a mouth. Filled him up with batting next. I wanted him to have hair so I cut strands of crochet thread and hot glued them inside the top opening. The "hair" made the doll look a bit like an order of french fries hence forth he is known as "French Fry". I went ahead and hot glued the doll closed after that.
Because there is not anyone I wanted to "voodoo", I wrote the word STRESS on him instead. So now whenever I am stressed out I have something to throw against a wall.
