i found a pattern that i loved but the bag would turn out huge so my mom made another pattern for me to my size. i found the fabric off the bargain wall and because of st. patric's day i got 50% off any fabric with green in it so this purse cost me like $12! i decided to make a coin purse to go with it and to learn how to do zipperz. i'm so excited and i love it so i thought i'd post some pictures of my new love<3

This is Katie's prayer shawl
and another shot of the same shawl. I made it for her baby shower. She absolutely loved it. It was very apt, she's Irish and the colors were very much her.

Better late than never!

[rebel-princess.livejournal.com]

Hello hello!
It has been a long time since I last posted - just before christmas I think.
Haven't had much time to craft since then.
I was looking through some photos though and came across some Xmas gifts I made so I thought I would share. They were a big hit :)


My friend goes through boyfriends like a baby goes through diapers, so I made her a voodoo doll to get back at all the stinky bastards!
He has a pocket on his face so she can put any one of their pictures in it to customize the voodooation!
He also has all the male equipment under his loin cloth ;)
((That is what the little scissors are for!))

( the power of voodoo! who do? you do! do what?! )

ok, two questions!

[xambermariex.livejournal.com]

1. Would red spraypaint show up ok on black fabric? dosnt have to be great, but for a stencil, i cant get the red acriclic to work well.

2. what are some easy things to make for a baby shower? i am thinking simple quilt or something, but i dont know if i will have my sewing machine fixed in time, and i odnt knit or anythnig.

3. thank-you!

No pictures this time. :\ Sorry. I'll try to make up for it soon, I promise!

I do have a question though.

Do any of you have a good pattern for neckties? I want to make a matching skirt and tie, but I don't have any tie patterns, and I don't think I'd be able to wing it.

Does someone maybe have a PDF file of a tie pattern? Or something? Maybe a tutorial you can hook me up with?

I checked the Memories, but I didn't find anything of the sort.

Thanks!

thrift store pants --> Bermuda shorts!

[supermelanie.livejournal.com]

So it seems Bermuda shorts are finally overtaking the ass-hanging-out-of-the-back shorts phase (THANK GOD). The great thing about Bermuda shorts is that they are just pants, but shorter! So, I'm thinking instead of going out and buying some new ones, couldn't I just get some cheap thrift store pants and Bermuda-shorts them? I've got a sewing machine and VERY BASIC sewing skills (as in, I can sew in a straight line) but basically no experience. Could I just chop off the lower leg and hem it up, or is it more complicated than that?

THANKS!

i'm not sure if this is really the kind of question to ask here, so if it is not i apologize.

[a-soviet.livejournal.com]

i am soon going to start selling purses/totes and whatnot, and i am trying to come up with a name to put on the tags. i was just going to use "Samantha Rae Bags" but it's so boring and i use the same name for my photography.

but, today i thought up "Shy Girl". does that sound like a good name?

Hey,
i just ordered some clothing and it came delivered in a tyvek envelope, now i live in the netherlands and we dont have tyvek as far as i know. but because i really like the material of it,
are there any cool crafty's one could do with tyvek envelopes?
i mean, its such a cool type of material, there must be SOMETHING you can do with it right?
i checked the memories on this but :/ nothing.

Ok. so im trying to think of something sweet to do/make for my boyfriend for our two year anniversary. SO if any of you had any ideas it would be greatly appreciated, it doesnt matter how much it is either. Thank you<3

question

[http://users.livejournal.com/ziggy_/]

i dont think anyone has posted something like this before, i couldn't find it in the memories. does anyone know how i could make a belt hanger? one that i can easily access a belt but it would hold all of the ones i have (which are a lot). i appreciate your help.

Don't waste those scraps... make another bag!

[genericgirl.livejournal.com]

After making quite a few bags in vinyl I noticed I have heaps of scraps left over. Not wanting to waste anything I figured I'd put together a fun bag using some of the scraps and some stiff velvet type material for the lining. I think if I make another one along these lines I'm going to make the strap thinner.


This is a full shot of the bag, I used a piece of blue vinyl with white, multi blue and a white doxie cut out I had left over from my die-cut bags.

Turns out, being sick in bed for five days is good for something--a project I was a month behind on finally got finished. Woo.

How do you thank your awesome group of friends for chipping in together and buying you one of these for your birthday:
