first time poster, long time lurker :)
my dad really loves tommy bahama shirts and, seeing as i don't just have an extra $100 or so to spend this christmas on a shirt, i was hoping to sew one. now, being on the low budget side, anyone know of a FREE pattern online that would help me make a shirt like this? or, at a last resort, an inexpensive pattern? i've really got my heart set on making this, so if it really means spending $15-20 on a pattern.. i might do it... but at a LAST resort!

More Rosa costume!

[strawbrrysprite.livejournal.com]

Hallo again, more progress on my Rosa costume! I've been working on this thing off and on for almost a year, so everything is coming together at once (which is a WONDERFUL feeling, I must say :D)

I Made Another Pouch

And yet another....well...because I like it :)

It reminds me of a stained glass flower....

I wanna be BEDAZZLED!

[rude-girl.livejournal.com]

Okay, I want (NEED) to get my friend a Bedazzler for Christmas. But I have lots of stipulations. I NEED it to be less than $15.00. Shipping isn't an option, I need it to soon. I'd like to not have to drive to far.

So who carries them. Or some sort of knock off of them?

Walmart? Target? I checked both of their websites, and nothing was listed. Would Michale's, or some other crafty wonderland have what I'm looking for??

Thanks for all the help!

xoxo!

Halloweenies, as requested

Yesterday I was finally R2D2 for Halloween.

Could've been much better, but I was pretty exhausted and definitely satisfied when countless nerds at 3 separate parties praised the crap out of it.

Easy Holiday Crafts

[soozun.livejournal.com]

**cross-posted to a few crafting communities**

Does anyone have any ideas for simple, easy to make Christmas ornaments or other small hanging crafts? I would like to make 50 or more of them to bring to some seniors at a convalescent home. I could pre-cut or punch out or draw certain pieces which I would then bring to a Holiday Crafting party I am hosting mid-December. (Think assembly line!) So if you know anything fun or suitable for this type of thing, please share your ideas and/or links to Web sites. Thanks in advance and have a great day!

I have hit fabric pay dirt. I went to my local goodwill, actually called the "Guardian Angel Thrift"...

Glass Ornaments

Hey all
Someone asked about making quick and cheap ornaments to give away. I made these last year but I never posted them and the season is once again upon us.

gin transfer inspiration

This is where I learned about gin image transfer onto clay. I have the episode saved on my DVR (like a TiVo).

I can't count the number of times I've gone on a shopping search to find a useful earring holding that would hold more than 2 earrings. When I was getting rid of old picture frames I was struck with the most genius idea ...

The black picture frames cost $2 at Ikea and the plastic grid was bought at Walmart for 97 cents (it's used for cross stiching). I looked online and similar earring holders are being sold for $50. This only cost a few dollers to make and it works so well!!

What do you all think?

Fruity Studs

This is also my first time posting....


Tehee ~ I was watching House, M.D. and decided to make some little earring studs. What do you think?

This is a long shot but, I want to sew a ferret soft toy for my girlfriend for Christmas (we share a joke about ferrets, and it would be just perfect if I made her one!) but I'm not an expert in sewing toys so I need a pattern - does anyone have a pattern for a soft toy ferret? Or even some similarly shaped animal that I could slightly alter...? I've tried googling it with no luck.
