Flareon Commission!

So I have officially completed my very first commission.  IT WAS A SUCCESS!  I believe I already told this story, but I shall tell it again.  During PAX I was wearing my Glaceon hoodie and a woman stopped me asking where I got it.  I stated, most proudly, that I had made it myself and she asked me to do a commission.  I completed the Flareon hoodie last week and presented him to his new home on Saturday.  My client was happy to let me take some photos so check it out!

Please note the flames on this lovely Flareon, they were a pain in the bum.  So many edges and turns - I am capable they just make me nervous while sewing.  I was actually afraid the flames wouldn't come out right in general because Flareons are fluffy (er, on fire really).  But I think stitching it the way I did (almost like a patch) gave it some fluff and I made the back swallow-tailed.  In any case, I am quite proud of myself and looking forward to possibly doing more commissions in the future.  My client actually showed interest in having a second hoodie commissioned and then a friend approached me about a kigurumi (O_O).  I'll keep you all posted on those!
