Ok, so my sisters first thought when she saw the bag was.. "hey.. heading out to the desert?".. but whatever she's not gonna get me down!.. although it does look kinda like it.. lol

anyways..I made this (canteen).. ahem! BAG!


accesorized with pins and metal studs from an old belt..


peek inside, the sewing is awful! but its only my first try..


detail of the strap.. I like this very much

P.S: IIIiiinn case you guys are wondering, the fabric was originally gray, I dyed it black and then tried to bleach it.. but this has to be the best fabric in the world, all that was bleached out was the dye :O.. and some of the black blotches you see are diluted acrylic paint.. oh! and its crossbody!

love to hear what you guys think!

Ok, people... heres the story... I bought this bag at this charity bazzar..its been sitting on my closet for almost 3 years... and last week I finally decided to do something about it...
I was never gonna use it.. you see it looked almost exactly like the brown paper bag that right in the bottom right corner that says "Yesterdays books" ..sorry I forgot to take a before picture!

It was a Moschino bag..made of wool.. but rather boring..as you can imagine from the pic..I had to hand stitch it cuz my machine wouldn't cooperate.. but it was soooo worth it.. It makes the project a lot more yours.. ya know?

ok no more blabbing..on to the pics!






better view of the interior.. an Ipod inside for sizing.. and oh so proud of the invisible stitching i used to attach the lining to the flap.. woot!  

sorry for the bad quality.. something happened to my camera..I think its dead now..  

C&C more than welcome!

Hello my fellow crafsters!
Its been a while since I posted something, I've been working on my thesis and all that.. but now that I'm done..and currently unemployed.. I have all the time in the world for sewing...

so, I made this tote bag, it's supposed to be exited or sarcastic...but the suspension marks came out too big..(I really dont know its that the proper term in english, they're just three consecutive points..and I used them A LOT)


exclamation point in the front...


the back with "suspension marks"


inside... all my stuff and a zippered pocket!!! yay!!  


and this one was inspired by this bag I found on etsy...
http://www.etsy.com/listing/46141396/new-qt-canvas-tote-in-deep-pink?ref=cat2_gallery_16

I loved it.. but I'm in no position to pay 42.00 and ship it all the way from Malaysia... so I made one myself..but dont get me wrong, it's totally worth it... my goodness was that bow a pain!

it's made of cream canvas I bought on sale.. It came out a little bit bigger than I expect it but I'm happy with it.. you can never have too many large bags!  





inside: ramdon books, this pocket came to be a little crooked.. but its all good ...

for the inside pocket I used this wonderfull tut...

and for the straps a used this AWESOME no "turning the strap" tut

I'm debating whether to do the topstick on the cream one ... what do you guys think?..should I..?.. shouldn't  I?

Ok, I just tasted it....

and it was pretty good.. In my sister words after she tasted it.. "uhhmm..its not that bad.. its actually good... a little more sugar maybe" you see i used special dark chocolate mix.. I added like 4 tbsp of sugar.. next time it will be 5, although we added some "dulce de leche" and it was better...

The mix spend the night in the fridge cuz I ran out of eggs so i had to wait till morning to get more, dont know if that did something to it and I didn't add the chopped chocolate.  ..

Here are some pics...



supposed to be a close up of the texture but i didn't quite nail it...

so yeah.. I give it 4 stars..

Irishfrog..you're my hero!

Hello beautiful people!!...
woah! its been a while since I've been around here... but now that I'm done with my thesis...and uni its all crafts and sewing now... well... untill I get a job ....

so.. I started this top a while a ago... and finished it tonight... well... its not done yet..I hope...
it needs something... but i dont know what... maybe something around the neck?.. in the middle?.. beats me!...

the fabric its a pale yellow-ish and it has spots of gold glitter.. and I dont kave any more left.. .. so whatever I add to it... has to be lace, of some other fabric.. but i dont know if I can find the same color...
I plan on making it a lil bit longer... its looks kinda like a bell :S

ok, enough talking! heres the pic!


sorry for the bad webcam pic... i dont know where my camara is.. and even if I find it... I bet it doesnt have any batteries...


P.S: its soooooo good to be back!!

Hello fellow craftsters.... .. Its my friends birthday on monday and i decided to make her a super BIG card along with a MM fondant cake I still have to make... I used this cardboard kinda thing.. paspartu (paspartoo, french I think) I have no idea how its spelled... but its the material they use in the framing business and I use it in uni to make models its really hard to cut and really thick.. aanyways.. its her fav. colors, apple green and lilac..measures about 16x24in, the border is in gross grain ribbon, the ballons are thin cardboard covered with colored thick paper and so are the little presents, but covered with scrapbooking paper ...I still have to write in the purple square, which is purple paper with purple watercolor.. so on to the pic..!!


love
Khryz
