Bulbasaur

 

My absolute favourite, Bulbasaur!!
The Red pokedex says
A strange seed was planted on its back at birth. The plant sprouts and grows with this Pokémon.

This pokemon took a lot of time due to me being ill during the middle. Better now though. I had to decapitate him halfway through because his head was too small which was a quite upsetting experience.
I think if I could be like a bulbasaur I would be very happy indeed. I am naming this little guy after my favourite thing in Bristol. And that is the fantastic
Joseph. 


The next pokemon on my list is no. 137 Porygon.

Golbat

Meet No.42 Golbat
The Red pokedex says:
Once it strikes, it will not stop draining energy from the victim even if it gets too heavy to fly.
The teeth were a bit fiddly but the cloth from Wilkinson made the job much easier than it would have been otherwise. Golbats predecessor is disliked by many pokemon players I know, and Golbat is not liked much better. I don't mind them too much. So I will call this him Cotham after a part of bristol I quite like. 


Next pokemon on the list is No.1 Bulbasuar, This is my favourite Pokemon.

Spearow


This is no.21 Spearow
The Red Pokedex says:
Eats bugs in grassy areas. It has to flap its short wings at high speed to stay airborne.

Spearow are supposed to be quite angry, but when I did Its eyes it came out a bit more confused looking. I am naming all my pokemon after people and places in Bristol. So this Spearow is called Tristan.




The next pokemon to be made is no.42 Golbat





Starting Off

 I'll be making pokemon, starting with the first 151 and going on from there. To make it more interesting for me I will randomly select which pokemon to make each time, until I have done them all. I will then go on to make the second generation.
4 Cleaning cloths £1.40

 First I will say where my materials are from:
Felt £1.50
Felt and cleaning cloths are from Wilkinson. I got the cleaning cloths because I couldn't find any white felt, I hope the extra colours they have will be useful too. I find Wilkinson very useful for odd items as their children's arts and crafts section is cheap and full of colourful things


These are materials I had left over from previous projects, namely the material from the batman and robin outfits I created for our charity walk for The society Of saint James. www.ssj.org.uk . These were from www.cheapfabrics.co.uk and only cost £1.99 per metre and came with matching thread for an extra 99p.

My final fabrics are from www.quilters-haven.co.uk The ones I have are Marbles Jelly Roll by Moda
and Over the Rainbow Sunset Jelly Roll by Batik.
I really like the Jelly Rolls because you get so many different colours. They are usually for quilting and so are only 10cm wide but I am making small plushies, so it is perfect for me.

Marbles £26.95
Over the Rainbow Sunset £32.95
Finally I have some tiny black beads from my sewing kit, I use scissors made by Fiskars, and my stuffing is from a £1.50 pillow from Wilkinson.
I hope whoever sees these thinks they are fun and silly, I am starting by making no.21 Spearow and I wont be using any patterns or making patterns myself as I tend to just cut the fabric and see how it goes. So here goes.
