Feathers

[sin-da-rella.livejournal.com]

I have been given a bag of really pretty feathers and would like to use them in a framed project.
I think that if I were to use glue, modge podge, hot glue or rubber cement that it would really mess up the fluffiness of the feathers. The only thing that I can think to use is double-sided tape...
Does anyone know what I should be using?
Thanks!

passport bag?

[wuzzles.livejournal.com]

Hi guys,

I've checked the memories, and did a Yahoo! search (can't stand google...), but I can't seem to find basic instructions on how to make a passport-type bag. I don't need precise directions or measurements, but I'm a little confused as to how to make to flap. I don't want it to be the exact width of the bag, because I'm afraid it won't lay flat when there's stuff in the bag - it will get compressed by the handles on the sides. So how would one go about making and attaching the flap? Does this make any sense at all? I don't know why I can't wrap my brain around it!

MTIA, Dani :)

lined zippered pouch

[hello--kitty.livejournal.com]

okay, i desperately need to know how to do this. the tutorial on craftster is not working and i basically want to die because i have all my pieces ready for construction and i can't find a similar tutorial ANYWHERE! (and i reaaaally searched.) would someone in here that knows how to do this make a quick step-by-step? i make these bags all the time and for some reason, figuring out how to piece them together always puzzles me to no end!

thanks <3

Hey,

Hopefully you guys will be able to help me out. I just recently bought this pretty awesome tote bag and just received it today. The only thing is the straps fit a lil snug when carried around my shoulder. My question would be is there any way to length them without totally taking apart the bag? Any help would be great, thanks!

tool belt!

I made a toolbelt! My sorority is getting ready to start a big building/construction/crafty project as community service, and we all decided to make ourselves snazzy toolbelts so we could build in style :-)

tiny fabric flower hairpins, handsewn from thrifted fabrics and vintage buttons. i made an army of them to contribute to the sampler, and i couldn't resist sharing them here. they make me happy.

and a question, which may be a bit odd:
i want curved needles, for handsewing stuffies and embroidering 3D forms. thin like a sewing needle, but curved like a tapestry needle... except that the only curved needles anyone has ever heard of are tapestry needles, and those are much too thick and cumbersome. i am thinking that maybe they make curved sewing or embroidery needles for making stuffed bears? but i wouldn't even begin to know what to ask for. so... any help? have you heard of such a thing? what's it called?

thank you!

Valentine's Pillow!

[zhukora1.livejournal.com]

I'm not really on the ball about uploading pictures from my camera, but I managed to do it before it got obscenely too long after Valentine's to post about fun gifts...

I made my boy a fun Valentine's pillowcase because he has a pillow that's just been sitting on his bed, naked, for as long as I've known him.
