Mushrooms!
May. 8th, 2006 02:24 pmIn honor of camping with Gnome Camp for Burningman, I have crocheted some mushrooms.
One is just a little stuffed mushroom, the other has a not-so-secret stash compartment.
I used the pattern from crochetme.com.
Gotta add some buttons to close the top and for decoration,
but I hate sewing so it might take me a while.
I'm not so happy with the way the opening-top came out -- it doesn't seem to seal right, it's very obviously a top-part that comes up. Don't like the shape it makes when closed.
I think it might work better if I use a bigger hook next time (which I did for the larger mushroom) so we'll see.

I MADE A SKIRT!
May. 8th, 2006 02:44 pmLong-time lurker, first time poster, blah blah blah... but anyway! I just completed my first EVER sewing project! I made a skirt! It's nothing fancy and definitely NOT perfect, but I'm still ridiculously proud of it. Basically it's just a wrap-around skirt, with two panels on the front that I doubled over and sewed (I don't know if that makes sense). It closes with a button on the outside and some velcro on the inside. I didn't use a pattern, I just kind of made it up as I went along. Hoorays!

recored sleeves
May. 8th, 2006 04:03 pmokay , i know you guys probably have really good ideas si ,i have some record sleeves, i'm using the records for purses but i can't think of anything for the covers they come in.
if you guys have any ideas i would very much appricate it,thank you.
I know its in the faq section but all it really says is to make clocks and boxes out of them but i'm looking for something a little more original and crafty.
also i was wondering how to make shrug out of a t shirt with using little sewing as possible,any help would be greatly appriciated.
ps thanks for the ideas

Record bowls
May. 8th, 2006 06:36 pmTried my hand at making record bowls last week, and, if I do say so myself, I think they came out pretty good for a first try. I made them star-shaped.

Dress/Top for my baby girl
May. 8th, 2006 09:13 pmThis is the first time I have ever sewed an article of clothing without a pattern. I decided to make my daughter a sun dress based off of these instructions: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=49544.0
I've never made anything like this without a pattern before. I would say I am a strict pattern girl -but now I am thinking I am able to do more. I have a few other ideas for dresses for her in my mind.
This is what I ended up with:

( Click to see the top too... )

May. 8th, 2006 09:37 pmOkay....Ideas?
I bought a M*A*S*H "RCA SelectaVision VideoDisc" and it came in a super hard case. I was hoping that the disc inside would have paper with "MASH" written on it (like a record)...but it didn't. So, now all I have is a cool case. It's super hard plastic...and about the size of a record cover. ANYTHING would be helpful.
Thx <3 I'll post pics when I find out what to do with it!

May. 8th, 2006 09:47 pmhello,
rather new to this community...I just found a beige leather purse at goodwill today and I'd like to write some lines from a poem on it to jazz it up. I don't know how to go about writing on leather however. Does a plain old sharpie work, or is there a specific kind of pen for writing on leather? Any help would be appreciated, thanks :)

Mmm, fun with food!
May. 8th, 2006 09:52 pmMy mum and I finally got ourselves a nice new cutlery set... And what better way is there to break it in than some crafy cutting?
I present to you my first apple bird. (Yeah, I know... I had never made one before this. And I'm even in a catering class!)

Applique Quilt Block and Bath Products
May. 8th, 2006 10:07 pmHey, everybody! I am finishing up stuff for a swap and I'd like some opinions on one of the items. For this swap I made a quilt block and some soap and bath bombs scented with nag champa. I love the way the packaging for the bath stuff looks so I put a picture of it along with a picture of the quilt block, which is what I'd like your opinions on. ( Check it out. )
P.S. If you are Kristen81 from craftster.org, don't look under the cut if you'd rather be surprised.

May. 8th, 2006 10:10 pmMy first real project on my sewing machine.
I did my camera cozy, but that was like a 5 minute project.

I took a stab at making jewelry again. Here is the result...plus 2 pictures of a little dragon I made in ceramics. :)

Duct tape <3.
May. 8th, 2006 10:31 pmI haven't posted in here in a while, but I've been lurking. I've got an awesomely awesome* project I'd like to share with you all! It may not be as awesome as most stuff here, but I'm proud of it.
( Who doesn't love pictures~? )
*Okay, it's not really awesome. But it killed time and fed my duct tape obsession... plus it's useful. :D
