DRAGON HAND PUPPET

This is my version of something that my daughter saw on Pinterest and asked me to make one for her. The original version was designed by Lauren and can be purchased on a website called Fiber and Fables. I prefer to try to create my own version. I know that this may look like very close to Laruen’s version. This pattern can be made in any combination of colors. I used red for the body (BC) and flame for the contrasting color (CC). Those colors were picked by my daughter.

CAROLINA PANTHERS NIKE JORDAN 1 SLIPPERS

This is my own adaptation of my Nike Jordan 1 pattern to show a coworker’s fandom of the Carolina Panthers. Instead of putting the Nike Swoosh on both sizes of the ankles, I only put the Nike Swoosh on the inside ankle of each shoe and the Carolina Panthers logo on the outside ankle of each shoe. The finishing touch was finding Carolina Panthers’ shoelaces on Amazon for a relatively cheap amount that I just could not pass up.
