A Fish for the Porch

I have been wanting to make this little guy for a while.  The pattern is Mimi Kirchner's.  Her blog is here and you can get the pattern here.

 

I used scraps...the largest piece was from my mother's stash that I inherited.  The green corduroy is from a jumper that I had in high school....a long, long, long time ago.  The fins are made from a skirt that I discarded recently.  Now when I clean out my closet..instead of throwing things in the Goodwill pile..I often hang onto something just so I can cut it up later.  It was pretty easy.  I may make him some pals before the summer is over.  He looks a little lonely.
