I have been wanting to test some new designs for Poggle's Living World dome cover. I previously made him a short, fat tree dome cover and I was able to duplicate that for a customer, but I wanted to try something new. It seemed like mushrooms would be a suitable next woodland item :)
Here is the finished toadstool dome cover!I used orange fleece for the top, white fleece for the stem and dots, and green fleece for the grassy base.
The underside of the mushroom top is pale yellow flannel. I have sewn the underside out of triangle wedges so that there are joint lines that mimic the lines under a mushroom top.
If I had more white fleece, I might have made the whole base white, but I didn't have enough so I just made it green on the base to look like grass. The underside is green too.
Sometimes limitations are good. I rather like the green base. I tried to sew grass strands, but it didn't work out. I'll have to think about how I might manage that.
What do you think of my new dome cover design? I wonder if Poggles will like it?
Want one of your own? Have one custom-made just for you here.
Have a happy day!

Fantastic! Who wouldn't want a toadstool house?
Thanks! It turned out a lot nicer than I thought it would. I'm going to make a red one with tan stems next. So excited. But first, TO THE FABRIC STORE! I love the fabric store...
