Today, I got a lot of sewing done. The Big Fish Choir now only lacks one member, which I'm gonna make tomorrow, and then there will be a group photo.

I've also made good progress on the "match-the-colour" page. All 6 felt tea cups have now their decorative garlands sewn on, 3 of them have their Velcro pieces attached, and I've finished the page base, too. Lots of Velcro work are waiting for me still - the dratted things work in pairs only, so that means 9 more pieces (oh, my poor fingers), but the design itself is endearingly easy.

Not the original one, mind you. But I decied that the tutorial demanded too much unnecessary work and basically simplified the whole process. My version will be definitely more rustic but still pretty enough, I think, and I doubt that a two-year-old would really care.

I didn't have much time for anything else, honestly. I've packed the jars of beautiful apricot jam into the storage cabinet, talked to a friend on the phone and made Tütensuppe for lunch... and that was it, basically. We ate the remaining banana cookies after the soup and were content with it.

I only tried to fasten velcro once then handed the garment over to mum and her sewing machine!

I can't wait to see the fish choir, I absolutely LOVED your first big fish! And of course, love your books too.

You'll also need some bubbles when the fish choir sings!

Felt does lend itself to simple shapes. I love the design, although to make a child's size book those teacups would have to be awfully small and fiddly.

True, but since they are individual fish, I can't really add the bubbles. They aren't part of the quiet book.

The cups themselves aren't that bad. The Velcro dots are.
