Sometimes you wake up feeling absolutely terrible with an awful migraine and simply the only POSSIBLE thing you can do to console yourself is spend 3.5 hours making yourself a fish bag to hold your water bottle in order to cheer yourself up. I saw a post on here awhile back of somebody's fish bag and was like "Oh I want!" Well now I have!
I used leftovers from various pants I've made. As you can see, the purple I used for the head is the same as the purple of the pants I'm wearing in the photo. This green linen I got from Metro Textiles turned out to be absolutely awful quality so I've been looking for something to do with it and this is fine for now. It's a fun silly little thing that I don't plan on using regularly, unlike the pants I made out of it that disintegrated at the seams within 6 months of sewing them. Still pissed about that.
Look at this buttonhole I stitched where the drawstring exits the fish!! Isn't it beautiful?! I wanted to stitch the seam allowance down a little bit here and ended up doing buttonhole stitch around the edges of the opening just to make it nice.
Okay now I am going to go back to hiding from the light, though. Because while my mood is way better thanks to fish bag I do still feel like, really unwell and awful on a physical level.
PS before folks ask, here is the tutorial the OP of the other post mentioned, though like OP of that post I sort of just got the general gist of the idea and did my own thing. Has a written tutorial and a video tutorial, though part of the written tutorial is "watch the video to learn how to draw the fish pattern" which is annoying for those of us who hate video tutorials or find them inaccessible (hi me I find video tutorials inaccessible because of my disabilities give me the photo tutorial for fucks sake ahem anyway)
