title: "Hi the shark: Designer Notes"

Hi! This has quite a story behind it.
|
||||
|
||||
A while ago rumours started swirling that IKEA would discontinue it's Blåhaj stuffed shark, which is a universally
|
||||
beloved toy. The FreeSewing community was quite agitated by this prospect. No one wanted to see the worlds friendliest
|
||||
shark becoming extinct. And neither did I.
|
||||
|
||||
It turned out that no one in the community had ever taken a Blåhaj apart, and no one had the courage to do so. The only
|
||||
Blåhaj in my household was my daughter's, and I couldn't touch that one.
|
||||
|
||||
This seemed like a great project to work on, and the lack of a Blåhaj was not an insurmountable obstacle. So one day I
|
||||
made a trip to Ikea, and bought me my own shark. I took the seam ripper to the poor animal, and transfered it's innards
|
||||
to a sterile bag. The individual pieces were traced, scanned, and used in InkScape to generate a fully functional shark
|
||||
pattern.
|
||||
|
||||
It can be saled up and down between 50 cm and 5 meter. So there is a shark for everyone.
|
||||
|
||||
<Note>
|
||||
|
||||
Ikea did not discontinue Blåhaj, and you can still get the blue shark. But if you want one in a different colour, you're at the right spot.
