Fungi and Fungirl

When I was young, like kindergarten young, I called myself Fun Sakuma. Wrote it on all my drawings, papers, and introduced myself as such. I wish that I could still insist such fun out of everything... but its not always possible. Although I still consider myself a Fun girl I also have a obsession (read: OBESS-ION) with mushrooms.

So I sew some fabric, squishy, muchkin ones (you can use remnants, left overs, napkins, pillow cases, old shirts, what have you)



cut out 4 triangular pieces of fabric a, a donut piece of fabric a, a rectangular piece of fabric b, and a circular piece of fabric b



sew the triangular ones together to make the mushroom cap:



sew the rectangle together and sew the circle to the bottom to make the stem:



sew the donut hole to the other end of the stem:



attach the mushroom cap to the donut hole, but leave a little section open so that you can pull it right side out and then stuff:



fill the sucker with guts:



cute and fin! attach string to make it an ornament, make a whole bunch to make a mini mush-forrest, make big ones as stuffed animal-pillows.



yayyayay for my first semi-tute!

remember: not a fungi are mushrooms, but all mushrooms are fungi... much like how the church views jesus in the dead sea scrolls...
