Little Pink Mermaid Tail <3

[Mermaid Saphira]

So while I am working on my newest turquoise tail I am also making a tail for my little cousin! She is gonna be my swimming buddy :)
First time she saw my tail her eyes lit up...I knew I had to make her one! For now the tail will be just fabric, but later we might add so mesh or scales like in the design pic. So here are the aspects of her tail.......

Fabric: 1369

Monofin: 1370

Design: 1371

How many tails do you own and how many of them have you made? I'm curious.

[Mermaid Saphira]

I own three tails, I made two (one of which is not swimmable, the other is to small) and my other one I got on ebay :)

Awww! that is going to be so adorable!

[Mermaid Saphira]

Thanx Taom! I'm waiting to get some money from her parents for her tail, this way we can order our fabric at the same time

[Mermaid Saphira]

MAJORLY EXCITING UPDATE: I got tired of having the material sit around my sewing room, but I obviously can't sew it with my machine. Therefore, I hand sewed the entire tail...twice! I was so excitied I just had to share...LOOKY HERE! IT'S ALMOST ALL DONE! Paint and jewels up next! YAY! :yay:

Just placed velcro on her tail so we can take the mnofin in and out for easier cleaning ;) Gotta wait for it to dry because later she gets to try it on!!
