    I had this design in my head for awhile and decided to try it out. it is not even close to being finished yet and I have made alot of mistakes, but it has been a definate learning experience. I have done this on my own with no pattern. Any advice would be welcome. Now dont laugh. this is my very first project. I hope to perfect it later with similiar designs of fish tanks. excuse all the wrinkles. I had to pull it out of a box while looking for other fabric and figured Id take a pic of it while I was there. (stored for the holidays)

    thank you. Its all applique. I traced the fish out of my goldfish book. still need eyes. LOL like I said its a work in progress. I will get frustrated with it and think I ruined it. I put it way and will come up with another idea and drag it out again. No telling when it will actually be done. I kinda cant wait till Christmas is over so I can get back to sewing.

    Might find some unusual beads for eyes and use some metallic threads to do some veins in the fins. I did something similar a few years ago and I love applique! Don't get discouraged, you are doing great!
