Re: Who's crafting/sewing?

Which one ya doing?

The girls want to be genie's for Halloween so we are planning on Simplicity 3626 but that depends on if I have the $$ to buy some things to finish it. (cause it's gotta be over the top )

Abby's been keeping me busy - right now I'm working on some pillowcases for her classroom & some new slipcovers for some chairs for her. In my "downtime" I've been making hair Blooms and starting to think about the auction for Nutcracker (the $$ raised from that offsets Lyssie's competition dance expenses)

She wants a store bought costume. She wants to be C3PO from Star Wars. Getting used to sewing with my new bifocals is a trick!

Re: Who's crafting/sewing?

I haven't been able to craft or sew in years due to living in such close quarters. That is why I have enlisted Karen to do it all for me! I am sooooooo looking forward to getting into our house this fall so that I can set up my sewing and scrapbooking space again!

Re: Who's crafting/sewing?

Well... I have 4 backpacks to finish this week for my nephews in Texas. You know those simple drawstring rectangles.
A purse for my niece in Iowa (sometime before Christmas....)
Halloween costumes
1. Cheshire Cat for a 6 month old baby
2. Alice in Wonderland dress for Tessa's best friend
3. Queen of Hearts Costume for my Best friend (thank goodness I'm not making the Hatter costume for the husband!)
4. Ursula (from the LIttle Mermaid) for Sammie
5. Whatever Karah settles on.. Trying to get her to settle on something

I won't be making one for Tessa. She wants to be Freddy Krueger, and when I said I could make it (I mean it's just a red shirt with stripes) she informed me she wanted a store bought costume. I told her she better start saving....

That's it for me... I have a friend who wants a bag but hasn't selected fabric or provided any. Until she does my hand are tied.
Sometime in the future I want to make myself a messenger bag, not sure when that will happen.

Re: Who's crafting/sewing?

yeah... I wonder sometimes how I stay sane... Tomorrow I must sew the bags together. I also need to work on my master schedule now that i have my calendar for school.

Re: Who's crafting/sewing?

I've been working slowly on my Wonder Woman costume for the past few weeks. I don't know if you can really call it crafting or sewing because it's just piecing things together and cutting/glueing craft metal.

Here is a picture of the finished boots (WW got a makeover this year and while I know a lot of people aren't happy with it, I kinda dig it and would be so much more comfortable in it than the spankies and bustier)

Re: Who's crafting/sewing?

Sounds like everyone has alot going on! I really need/want to take a sewing class. There is a place nearby that gives them, but I have to wait until the finances are better.

Re: Who's crafting/sewing?

I am just lucky that when I had finances I stocked up on material It's coming up with the $$ for zippers/interfacing/stuffing etc...

Re: Who's crafting/sewing?

Yeah, seems like everyone is having to fight with finances these days. I just keep hoping it will get better soon.
