Boostle Pillows

[manofbats.insanejournal.com]

This past August it was one of my BFF's birthday and she is a huge Boostle fan. She has almost every piece of official merchandise, so we've been forced to start creating Boostle related gifts for her. I decided to make her pillows that look like squishy torsos.



It was my first time sewing, so be kind. I also recently gave her a Blue Beetle coffee mug.

You're awesome. Just thought you might like to know.

[manofbats.insanejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

[darkblade.insanejournal.com]

You have just won one free internet. Would you like that wrapped up or would you prefer to enjoy it here?

[manofbats.insanejournal.com]

I wish to dine upon it whilst a wench serves me flagons of mead!

[darkblade.insanejournal.com]

Hmm I lack the anatomy to be a proper wench but the mead can be arranged.

I now want a Power Girl pillow. Or would that be pillows?

I'm actually trying to figure out how to go about making Power Girl pillows. I want to make three. One for a friend, and the other two for Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner since they come to a local convention every year.

[foxhack.insanejournal.com]

I imagine that to make the breasts, you'd have to use a pattern similar to what is used for teddy bear faces.

I can't believe I'm actually able to figure this out. D:

... you know, I'm thinking that a Power Girl-themed pillow would actually be quite comfortable, for reasons I probably don't need to go into.

At the very least, on cold winter nights, your ears would be quite warm.

There are actually pillows with breasts attached. (http://kotaku.com/gaming/this-summer-brings/dork-pillows-with-humps-287064.php) You could alter one?

I am disturbed, yet oddly intrigued. Just don't tell me that they have pillows featuring the bottom half of the female torso, or I'll start being disturbed, period.

Giving friends the dismembered torsos of characters they like seems a little questionable.

I kid, I kid. :D They're cool; now I'm considering trying something like that. Maybe over break...

[manofbats.insanejournal.com]

The logic we used was that limbs get in the way of cuddling Boostle.

[jcbaggee.insanejournal.com]

THAT is a great schtick for a Booster Gold villain.

She just wants to cuddle him, but she's gonna have to dismember him first!! The CUDDLE MONSTER!

[auggie18.insanejournal.com]

They're like those 'boyfriend arm' pillows that they sell in Japan, only less creepy!


Seriously though, best homemade gift ever.

Booster: Ted's stomach might be pillowy, but I do crunches!

[psychop_rex.insanejournal.com]

For your first time sewing, that's pretty damn good, man. I certainly couldn't do anything like that.

[gargoylekitty.insanejournal.com]

Nice.

Matter Eater Lad

[beeeater.insanejournal.com]

Whatever happened to Matter Eater Lad? Last I remember he got turned into a girl. Is he still female? Does he/she still exist? Or was he cut during all the recent reboots?

[janegray.insanejournal.com]

Really cool :D

[umpbumpfizz.insanejournal.com]

Those are really cool! Are they two separate pillows, or is it one reversible pillow?
You are a good friend! Did you make the coffee mug as well?

[manofbats.insanejournal.com]

They are two separate pillows.

This is quite possibly the most amazing birthday gift ever and I am now considering asking for homemade superhero pillows for my upcoming birthday! Did you make a stencil for the patterns of their costumes? That is incredible for a first time sewing! Must make my own Batgirl themed pillow!
