self portrait (constructive)

The last self-portrait I posted was the "destructive" one about a project that was put on hold. This one is the constructive one.

Replicated Men's Shirt - from copying to finishing

[elfie-elfie.livejournal.com]

This is not a tutorial, it's a chronicle.  The LJ format isn't adequate for the length of the post I'd need to tell you HOW to do what I did.

This is the shirt I'm so FIGJAM! about:



Yes, it looks rumpled -- that's what the client loved about the original shirt, and I looked hard to find heavy enough cotton ticking to replicate that texture. :-)  What's the big deal? you wonder.  This shirt is a copy of an existing French Connection men's shirt, and I created the pattern without taking the original garment apart.  And I had to figure out how to do the front details... and how to fold the button placket that was self-faced, and...  I love working with crisp cotton.  It's got a nice heft to it, and it sounds like marcescent leaves in the winter, and it takes a crease like paper...

Sometimes you wish they'd just settle down for a nice cup of tea (or beer!)

Kurt Cobain Valentine

Was anyone else completely in love with Kurt? I guess I never really got over it. Those junior high crushes have a way of hanging on.

( can you feel my love buzz? )

Any ideas on what to make with this fabric?

[pumpkin54.livejournal.com]

I bought this fabric for really cheap at Walmart yesterday and I'm trying to think of something fun to make for my 18-year old brother. (who is goofy by the way, and will like it). I mostly do needle crafts and just started sewing again so I need an idea of something fairy simple to do. The only thing I can think of is a pillow...do you guys have any other ideas?

Also, I'm planning on going thrifting tomorrow for an old keyboard so that I can make this for the geeky boy in my life for Valentines day =)

cymbal clock!

[marajane01.livejournal.com]

Look what I made tonight! Got myself some metal polish and finally made this clock for our (kickass) living room. You can't really tell, but the hands look like sticks. The cymbal is actually cracked in a couple spots, so don't worry - I didn't deface a good cymbal.

Now I just need to get around to hanging it!

All you need is love

[koalajoe27.livejournal.com]

Valentine's Day is all about love.  While you're busily wrapping chocolate and ordering flowers online for your loved ones, do not forget the most basic love:  love between mother and child.

( And they are edible... )
