New Hackney

I showed a friend the Skeleton Hackney I made before Christmas. She really liked it so I offered to make her one. I am in the process of making about 6-8 Hackneys and one more will be easy.

The inside is a pink from a line that has been hanging around my workroom for a long time. It is one of those fabrics I love and am reluctant to use because a better project might come along for which I need it. I am trying to get over that feeling and use the good fabrics. There is always more fabric, right?

I have the lid on, but not the bottom, which you can see above.

I decided to center the hand bones rather than the skull this time. That means I ended up with two skulls on the top.

I have the handle on, but I am not sure I have that step in the right place. Remember the pattern does not include a handle, so I had to hack it.

My friend saw it in process and was thrilled. I just need to find some time to finish it. I don’t have much more to go, so it shouldn’t take very long.
