General Grievous Finger Puppet Craft

[bonniegrrl.livejournal.com]

I always enjoy making puppets. Perhaps it's the kid in me who never grew up. I secretly wanted to get lost on Sesame Street and stay there. In fact, my mom used to wake me up as a child with a Kermit puppet so I imagine that's why I'm drawn to making toys that have a bit more life in them.

The more puppets I make for Starwars.com, the more I realize that at some point I need to put on a puppet show. Maybe like Punch & Princess Leia? Perhaps if I can get enough of you to make Star Wars puppets, we can do a flash mob puppet show at Comic-Con? Who's in?

Either way, I hope you crafty kids, Star Wars fans and amateur puppeteers out there have fun with my latest craft!

What, exactly, do you do with hem tape?

[perpet.livejournal.com]

I've tried Google, and I'm still not quite sure how hem tape works. I want to use it to attach a zipper to a bag I've just crocheted. As far as I can tell, I put the tape on the zipper and cloth for the zipper, and then I iron the hem tape. Is that right, or do I need to still sew everything as well? Or do I (quite possibly) have the wrong type of sewing tape?

In case it wasn't absolutely obvious, I do not generally sew.

Thanks in advance for your help!

aprons

I told my roommates I would make them aprons when we were just talking about moving in together. Seeing as i never got around to it this summer, since I had a job and an internship, I decided to make them as Christmas presents (late presents since all my fabric was at home and i couldn't do it at school). Anyway, I am really happy with how both turned out. Although I wish i made the heart a little narrower on the first one. I tucked the sides under for one picture so you can see how it would look if I did it all over again. I didn't use any patterns... just kinda figured it out on my own...

As promised, I'm still working on the Narwhal journal. I love the fabric I've picked out for it, I promise to show you guys as soon as I have pictures.

Thanks for looking!
