Three D bugaboos

     I am not very good at making three dimensional sewn pieces. However, my son is going to have his birthday this week (33). At Christmas, he told me he wanted a cover for his amp. So I bought a nice heavy cover on ebay.

     And then he informed me he wanted a unique cover, not like this. He thought I could do something "creative" with it. It sat in my project corner until this week. Then I remembered it. I know batiks are strong fabric and I could do made fabric pieces, but I had to be careful that it does not read cutesy or forced. He plays in a band out sometimes. 
     I pulled out my boxes of green and blue batiks. I thought I could do one side in mostly blues and morph into greens over the top and down the back. The vinyl is plenty stiff, so I am not going to add batting. So, I made a huge mess of my studio and kept sewing and slicing.

     I have no idea how to do this. I made the fabric, then ironed a small hem, pinned it close to the binding and used a small stitch. I was going to make a freezer paper pattern, but the cover seems wonky, not straight. 
     The other issue I have to figure out is the Fender logo. It is screen printed on the vinyl, but to cut the fabric around it looks tacky, ruins the design of the fabric. If I cut the vinyl apart to put the logo on top, I compromise the structure of the cover. I traced the logo on steam a seam, and am going to try to cut out white fused fabric and zig zag it on with black thread. Oh my, can't wait for that, yikes.
