I had this design in my head for awhile and decided to try it out. it is not even close to being finished yet and I have made alot of mistakes, but it has been a definate learning experience. I have done this on my own with no pattern. Any advice would be welcome. Now dont laugh. this is my very first project. I hope to perfect it later with similiar designs of fish tanks. excuse all the wrinkles. I had to pull it out of a box while looking for other fabric and figured Id take a pic of it while I was there. (stored for the holidays)

I used the zig zag on the fins of 2 of the fish. trying to think of how to embelish the heads of the 2 bubble headed gold fish. any ideas?

I love it! Can't wait to see more :D:D:D

Wow you're very creative! Love it! I could never do that.

Fantastic job so far. I'm way out of my comfort zone to try anything like this!!

thank you. Its all applique. I traced the fish out of my goldfish book. still need eyes. LOL like I said its a work in progress. I will get frustrated with it and think I ruined it. I put it way and will come up with another idea and drag it out again. No telling when it will actually be done. I kinda cant wait till Christmas is over so I can get back to sewing.

What a great idea! Can't wait to see what you come up with for embellishments.

Might find some unusual beads for eyes and use some metallic threads to do some veins in the fins. I did something similar a few years ago and I love applique! Don't get discouraged, you are doing great!

That is so cute! Thank you for sharing it with us:) I could never do one that good but maybe someday I will try:)

cute

Cute!!!

I too like it and agree you are very creative, also love the idea of beads for eyes. Keep going you are doing a great job.

Adorable!

I love it, great design. I can feel myself relaxing already, and you don't have to clean the tank every week.

clean the tank every week? I guess thats why my fish died. LOL I'd better stick to the applique fish huh?

No advice here, but I like your project.It's all a learning experience. Just do what looks good to you.Be sure to show more pics.

I have put bubbles and eyes on my fish. here it is.
