I am in the process of making another one of my Pac-man pillows for an anniversary gift.
You may have already seen my retro arcade pillow on the Geek Crafts Blog which it was featured on last year.
This gamer pillow was all hand-sewn, excluding the actual pillowcase and the arcade 8-bit maze. The power pellets are sequin hearts where Ms. Pacman is chasing Pac-man (my favourite bit) The rest are all gold sequins and all the ghosts have googly eyes.
The stitch word embroidery is my friend's name who is the player & with her birth year as the score... yes I think of these little things, details are everything 😊
I used craft felt for the maze linework, ghosts and Pacman. This was all hand cut and half was handsewn. The Maze I sewed with a sewing machine
This is the type of craft I enjoy doing, a bit of an old-school classic design with a little twist.
For some reason, hand sewing calms me and always makes me smile when I have finished, even if it has taken me longer than I expected and things may have not worked out how I wanted, I may have thrown the project a few times or had to unpick a major error. It's what makes it more rewarding when you have finished the project and not given up 100 times like you really wanted to.
