Working on a Domo


I'm working on a Domo for Philip. Now, if you don't know what a domo is, it's the mascot for Japan TV. And he's been in a ton of stuff, this past Halloween he was a mascot for Target.

Anyway, Philip's always wanted one, so I thought I would make one for him. I found instructions on the Cut Out + Keep website. But then I just made my own pattern.

I did hand sew him all together. And Phil had the idea to make him bendy arms. So we put a piece of bailing wire that he bent together into a rod inside of him. So, this is what he looks like. I was working on the flag, so I misplaced the arm pattern I was using. Philip says he looks like Terminator Domo. ROFL.

I'll post a photo of the final version tomorrow or Sunday.
