Hey 405th, {Cortana here, reporting with another Halo sewing project. This time I made an ODST fleece blanket for my fiance!
The blanket base itself is constructed from two layers of Anti-Pill fleece, which like it's name states, doesn't get all those nasty little "pilly things" all over it after washing. The ironic thing about this blanket is when I went to Joanns to buy the fleece, I knew I didn't want to use a bright green, I wanted to find a more subtle, army-like green. What did I find? A green fleece that is actually called "Rifle Green"! :lol
This was one big project since I had to measure, draw, and cut out all those pieces in a very precise way in order for it to turn out so good, and it was all free-handed with only the Keep It Clean wallpaper as reference. I satin stitched the pieces to the blanket with my new sewing machine, creating an embroidery-like look, but without all the hassle. I have to say, I am quite proud of the job I did on this one, and I plan to make more later on in different Halo designs, such as player logos and such. I might be making a couple more just like this one to sell in the next couple months, so I'll keep you all informed.
