Super Mario 3 - World 2 (WIP)

[Lijnloos]

As of yesterday, I'm starting my second world of Super Mario 3... I finished world 1 in about 10 months, and seeing as this one is about twice the size, I'll be taking a lot of time for it... Again, a lot of yellow, but I'll be stitching through it!

Starting up:
A special container for the threads


The fabric all cut out and counted


Pattern printed out


Ready for action!


I started stitching allready but only finished 1 column, I still need to take a picture of it. I'm planning on taking a picture after every stitching-session so I can make a "cool" stop-motion-film afterwards...

You have way more patience for stitching than I do... I plan on doing World 1, but all the others are so much bigger there's no way I could ever do any of them.

I think the stop-motion video thing is a cool idea, I may have to do that with my next project!

This is going to be awesome. I can't wait to see your work in progress.

I need some kind of storage system for my threads. I currently have all mine separated in to baggies =P

[Lijnloos]

I use those little plastic sandwich-bags as well as shoppingbags for in my work-bag so I can take it on the train to work. But because I need a fare amount of thread for this project and I had this container left It became designated for the threads. I have another small and one big, for the rest of my threads, non-assigned

Good luck on this! My SMB 3 - World 1 map is at the same point it was 3 months ago. Are you planning on doing all 8 world maps? I tried to do the stop-motion thing too, but then I went through a period of feeling like I didn't do much and abandoned the idea. But if you are able to make it all the way through, I'll be excited to see how it looks!

[Lijnloos]

Jim, too bad your World 1 isn't progressing anymore... I hope you can find the time and will-power to finish it at least!
I'm hoping that one day I will have all the worlds done, but I think by that time, nobody will even remember Nes or Super Mario
As for the stop motion, I allready forgot to take a picture last night, before I continued. But since there was only 1 line done, I don't mind and will try and keep up with this idea. So now I have 2! lines done On to the 3 lines of black... and then a whole lot of yellow!

[Lijnloos]

First real WIP... After about 4 hours of work, I managed to get the borders on the right done. Now it's off to the yellow parts!

[RockstarGirl]

I would really love to do all 8 worlds... but I really have NO IDEA what I would do with them when they were finished... Something of that magnitude I would never be able to part with, and I have absolutely nowhere to hang them! I am going to do world 1 - but I doubt I ever do any of the others.

Hats off to you for doing this!

Good luck! I'm excited to see your progress. Maybe it will inspire me to start on World 1. Have fun!

Here's a more recent picture, about 6 hours of work in it now... Finally something different then long columns of one color.
