Making bacon...

I've started the bacon portion of the flannel pj bottoms.  I've painted the bacon fat on a red cotton quilting fabric... and so far so good.  It takes me 20 minutes per piece, at least it's therapeutic and non-fattening :) Once the 18 pieces are painted they'll be cut out and sewn to the black flannel ground.

OK, now imagine my surprise Dear Elmo when I finally was able to capture your posts! Wadders, pj's bacon, Oh MY! Then I read the last two posts and it made sense. Finally feeling better but I think a bit of gray matter might also have been involved, slow on the uptake here. Love the idea of "painting" the bacon. What kind of paint did you use, how will you "set" it? You are waaaaay more ambitious that I am!

Sorry to have sprung these posts on you! I am using Setacolor Opaque shimmer pearl, and once it dries, it is set with the heat from an iron. I have 10 pieces painted with another 8 to go. This has to be in the mail by Monday or Tuesday at the latest.

I was going to make a white t-shirt with two fried eggs on them, which would make everyone laugh Christmas morning, but I know she will never wear it.
