Sewing question

[spyla.livejournal.com]

I have a quick question...
Ok, I have basic t-shirt and I want to sew pieces of fabric onto the sleeve so it looks drapey.
I already have it pinned exactly how I want it. How do I go about stitching them on to the t-shirt? Invisible stich? Or is there some other trick I can do to make it not look cheap?
Thanks!

creating privacy?

[fuzzyfuzzycute.livejournal.com]

so, going back to school means moving back into my parents house, but more specifically, the basement. the basement is going to remain a communal space, because they keep the family computer down there, not to mention extra food and the laundry room, so i was to create something that will give me some sort of privacy. really, i'd only use it if i'm sleeping because so it doesn't need to be too complicated. does anyone have any ideas on how to go about doing this without having to spend loads of money on nonsense? the only thing i can think of is making a canopy, but i don't know if there's something else that i'm just not seeing, haha. thanks!

Custom Printed Fabric

Has anyone had their own pictures/designs custom printed on fabric? If so, what site did you order from and how were the results? Thanks!

Last of the felt food project!

[tuckspuddn.livejournal.com]

Bacon!! Made with two pieces of brown felt, with some pink sandwiched in between. I did a blanket stitch around the outside and a backstitch down the middle. Then I cut out the part in between the backstitching to expose the pink part.

( 2 more back here )

Aaaaand that's the end of the felt food for now. :)

eta: In case you've missed my other posts, I made this little play food set as a birthday gift for the little girl I nanny for (and another set for her cousin, who I used to nanny for).

Father's Day Gifts

[mightyfinewine.livejournal.com]

Now that June is upon us, it's time to start thinking about Father's Day gifts. I always struggle with making stuff for the men in my life (except my husband). So help inspire me, what are you making for Father's Day?

I checked the memories and the pickin's are slim. And if it matters, I have about $30-$50 to spend on materials for two Father's Day gifts (for my Dad and my Dad-in-Law).

Movable Mural?

[tigralon.livejournal.com]

I am going to make a mural for my office wall, but I want to make it removable since obviously I will (hopefully) not be in the same office for the rest of my life.   :P  It will probably be about 100" tall and 100" wide (very rough guess).

Has anybody made a movable/removable mural before?  Right now my plan is to buy a ton of canvas at Jo-Ann, sew it together to make a piece large enough, paint the mural onto it, and then sew a pocket along the top for a rod so I can just hang the rod from two screws.  But I would love to hear from others who have actually done something like this...or just who have any great ideas or thoughts on what to do or to avoid.  With a project this big, a little planning ahead goes a long way!!

Senior Exhibition...

[ginalikewhoa.livejournal.com]

At my school, all seniors have a choice of putting together a senior exhibition, which is basically a project about anything. There is a lot of freedom with it, but requires at least 75 hours of work put into it as well as an essay and final presentation. For my exhibition I chose to create my own fashion line while my best friend Ashley made bags.

Part of the project was also photographing all of the outfits, which happened to be named after each of the models... There are a lot



( Image Obese, but there are 10 outfits in here )

K, so it's not the best picture in the world but I thought Id test this posting thing out and show the chocolates I made for a baby shower this weekend. I must say that the actual chocolate flavor was the most complicated because if it gets too "cool" it gets that little white film on it, so the other colors were more fun to play with!
