Until it's zipped up. Then it looks more like a blob fish, 😂:
It does hold lots of sharpies, which was a goal.
The Youngest declared it "Wonderful" and "A little guy" but would like a pencil case which fits their longer markers (which had already been measured, and their measurements shared with me, oops)
Action items for next shark:
1. Find a white zipper for the teeth
2. Find sharkier fabric. Hopefully, a lighter gray with white speckles
3. Redraft the body pieces to accommodate longer markers, and potentially integrate the tail piece to eliminate extra seams.
It was fun to get back to some sewing. I've been avoiding my sewing area for quite a while. There was a tumble of dust and detritus from the floor above, and it's going to take a few long dedicated hours to get things tidied up and I haven't had the mental energy to tackle the job. But at least my sewing desk is clear and I need to remind myself of that fact from time to time.
