did you know that when you can sew you can make whatever you want? meet Goostav, the apartment goose.
katy holding the taped-together paper pattern pieces for the porch goose: the goose is 20” tall and extends from katy’s shoulder down the length of her torso. it’s a big goose! cut out goose pattern pieces: two white body pieces, four orange feet pieces, and an orange beak made from two pieces. they are arranged on two cutting mats, with cutting tools to the side.after sewing the feet together, they are stuffed and then three lines of stitches are added to make them “webbed”. augie, a small white cat, sitting on a desk chair and looking up at a fabric goose plush.

a friend gave me one for my birthday years ago. i later discovered that the best tool for breaking up the palm fronds that dropped in the backyard was a small hatchet rather than a machete, but it was fun to use.
