Bigfoot Bob and His Pal Jack (-a-Lope)

Home & Garden Completed Projects

Last year, I bought this pre-printed fabric panel from Spoonflower. It’s printed on minky and I had heard so many times that minky was difficult to sew with that I kept putting this off.

Besides being covered in minky fuzz, it wasn’t too bad, but I also pinned the heck out of it! Bigfoot is about 12” tall, so it ended up being a quick project. It took about an hour and a half from start to finish.

I realized that he’s technically Bigfoot, but the name wasn’t as catchy :smile: However, I decided that I couldn’t abide the inaccuracy, so I changed his name (in case you saw this post under the original title/name). :laughing:

Here’s the link to the fabric:

In searching for it, I found several others. I might have to start a Yeti/Bigfoot Collection!

These are really cute!!

And yes, any time I sew with minky, I feel like I need to have a shower afterwards to get rid of all the fuzz!

These are adorable! I am all for a Yet/Bigfoot collection. I have Yeti stuff all over my house since one of my fur babies is named Yeti Pegleg.

Super cute! I absolutely love the fact that you chose minky for them!

Thanks! I thought they would be bigger, but they really are just the right size- they don’t take up a ton of room on the bed or chair. And, I could even put them on a shelf and they wouldn’t look oversized.

I’m developing a collection, as well! I have been a Bigfoot fan since I was a kid. And, that’s an excellent name for a pet!

Thank you so much! I actually thought of you and your many Bigfoot projects when I was looking through the printed panels on Spoonflower. When this panel popped up, I wondered if you had made one in the past that I missed :grin:

Thank you! I wanted a Bigfoot stuffie, but didn’t have the brain space to design my own right now, so this was a prefect alternative. And I love that it came with the jack-a-lope, too!

Thank you! I almost didn’t get them in minky because I was worried about how challenging it might be to sew. But, I think because I used a ton of pins, and it was a smallish piece (compared to a quilt backing, for instance), it wasn’t bad. And, they are so soft!

Never even see these before! So cute!

These are fun. I keep the vacuum cleaner and a lint roller with me any time I cut minky or fur. It helps a bit but my ‘studio’ is one giant fuzzy mess.

I had a lint roller, but I couldn’t find the handle, so I just rolled one of the replacement rolls over everything. Guess I should keep a spare in my sewing bag!
