I don't even remember when I made this scarecrow wearable, but it has been quite a while. Actually it's a plain black sweatshirt, bought at Michaels I think, that I altered. I think I wore it one time to an October quilt guild meeting. Two reasons I don't wear it often: it's usually too warm here in October for me to wear sweatshirts. When everyone else is bundled up in sweaters and jackets, I'm still wearing short sleeves. (Vann said my thermostat was broken.) And I don't really want to wash it; I'm afraid it will mess up my scarecrow. I don't know where the pattern for scarecrow head came from, whether I made it up or found the pattern online or at some shop. But I don't still have it, I don't believe.
His body and hat are donations from grandson Jesse. In his spare time, Jesse is a "picker." He goes to auctions and warehouse sales and gathers stuff, then sells it. Sometime I'm the lucky recipient. The body is a dress form. I don't know anything about the hat.
Here is my favorite scarecrow quote from "The Wizard of Oz," which I think is the first movie I ever saw (or the first one I remember) as a child.
"Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking, don’t you think?"
Cute sweatshirt and I know what you mean about it being too warm for sweatshirts (cute or not) at Halloween in the South!
ReplyDeleteMy thermostat is also broken in the other direction. I'm colder than my environment so cannot be a reptile, so DH has long said!
Hugs!
