Besides, even if she doesn't like it, I can take it back (it's fvcking Kon from Bleach).

I think its admirable and thoughtful, and not that gay.

Good luck man. :thumbsup:

EDIT: Appearing gay is the least of my worries.

It's obvious that at best, he's extremly "metro."

Sewing a stuffed animal is beyond metro. It's just creepy. And strange. Even gay guys don't sew.

The only acceptable sewing for a man to do is sewing his own stomach back together using a mirror while in enemy territory.

I know a gay guy who owns Waukegan's best sewing store.

Oh, and sewing your stomach back together is something I did a lot of in Vietnam. Yeah, it was pretty hot.

honestly, go to a fabric store (you'll need to go there anyways) and talk to someone there. they will be experienced enough to point you in the right direction of what you want to do. just explain your ideas and look at some patterns and get some ideas of how to create your design.

edit: OMG THAT IS SO CUTE!!!

you'll be the number 1 bf ever when you do that.

Thanks.

I'll be heading off to Fabricland in a day or two.
