Sprite Stitch Board!

I started on several Lemmings-related sewing projects prior to the announcement of the upcoming official merchandise (I have a policy of not making items where official merchandise is available), but I haven't yet had the time to finish them all. Today I was able to finish one of them - a small screen cleaning pad.

I started with the below image of a dancing lemming. This originally came from page 121 of the June 1993 issue of Amiga Computing magazine, from a piece promoting this song, and I removed as much of the background as I could.



A little bit of yellow remains around some parts of the outlines, but this was never going to show once it had been printed onto white fabric.

I sewed the printed piece to a swatch of blue short-pile plush fabric, and once I added stuffing, I ended up with a two-and-a-half inches tall screen cleaning pad.



Annoyingly, I accidentally cut the seam allowance a little too close after the stitching was done, and this resulted in a few small seam pops after turning it right-side out, which were a bit of a nuisance to fix. That aside, I'm really pleased with it.

Looks great!

He is really cute,
Was it difficult to print it?

Thanks very much, guys.

Not at all, but that's just because I had it printed at Spoonflower, in some spare space at the edge of one of my other (also unfinished) projects. I used the Performance Knit fabric, as it's my favourite of their offerings due to the fact that it has great colour reproduction, and doesn't really fade when washed.
