Toerag to Gruffatent....

Well finally got round to sploshing some paint on my lovely little Toerag tent (ouch price has shot up on these since last year?!)

Obviously the theme for this was pretty and feminine...the gruffalo

Painting didn't take long, just need to iron the fabric paint, pitch it and slap some fabsil on

So here's some pics of it painted up, all on the dining table as it hasn't been pitched yet, but gives a good idea

Here we go....

First side is Gruffalo's child

First side finished

 

straight in at the deep end...on to gruffs...

 

 

 

 

joined by scrambled snake....

 

 

and roasted fox...

 

 

Gruff side is complete

 

 

 

Didn't want to do much on the doors as it would be a bit overpowering (ha ha..hmm).  So just the gruffatent in the top pic of the page, opposite wall just has his paws and a 'patch'

 

 

 

 

Just need to find some bits to kit it out now. Not as easy as it sounds, gruffalo stuff is in pretty short supply - no fabrics or anything much around.  What there is, is either highly priced, or every bidder going snaffles it on ebay

 

Had a play and made a cushion from scratch

 

 

Have realised pom pom trim is a bggr to sew

 

And made an ipad cover anyway (not for tent obviously) but its a bit tight, so have passport and driving licence stuffed in there (useful information for any would be burglars reading this)

 

 

 

 

Looking forward to pitching it now, will update when I do!
