Ok on to the eyeball.
The same helmet is on a gridded cutting mat on the floor. In front of it are several of 2.5-inch circles cut out of bright green sparkly fabric with a small blue-black pupil in each one.
A Caucasian woman’s hand is holding a bike helmet covered with a roller derby style “panty”, a stretchy helmet cover made out of white fabric with very small silver glitter on it. It glistens horribly.
Step 1: make a roller derby panty for my bike helmet. Fuck it, actually make two so I can…
Step 2: make one large eyeball and seven small eyeballs so the panty can be reversible because I’m extra af.
I had cut the irises and pupils as perfect circles (I have an accuquilt for the literal only purpose of cutting perfect circles) and then decided to use the flower shape for the pupils so it’s slightly irregular and looks not-quite-right. Then hand stitched the pupils to the irises to enhance the irregularity. Next will be sewing them onto the panty, hemming it, and it’ll be done.
The finished irises. One is about 5” across and the other is about 2.5” across. Both are bright green sparkly sequin fabric with a black pupil with deep blue microsequins.

A larger flower shape, closer to 2” across.
A small subtle flower shape cut from blue and black sparkly fabric, held in a woman’s hand. It’s about 1” across.
