wow I LOVE this! show the other when you're done. You've given me some serious iinspiration here..... hmmmm

Awesome work! they look fab and you've given them years more useful life.
Well done for thrifty and craftiness!

Yeah..it's still doing it on mine too.  I have it zoomed in so I can see though. It doesn't bother me though.

I don't know how to do a screen shot either...I took a picture as well...

I don't think I have it zoomed out that much..

Quick bit of help- on a PC- Look for the PrtScn (or variation of the word Print Screen on the keys of your keyboard (mine is above my number pad on the left).
Hold down your ALT key and this PrtScn key. It won't look like it's done anything but if you press Control & V together (or paste) then a screen shot will appear where you are pasting.

That looks fabulous! well done, I love it

Thanks! Don't be put off. There are oodles of tutorials and videos etc on the webs to help you learn to sew or increase your skills. Hand sewing takes a while but you CAN do it. Even sewing on a button is satisfying and you'll feel amazing! 

If I take an entire packet of biscuits in the car I'll eat them all! But, if I split it into little portions I'll not be the size of a house by the time the holiday starts
But I also don't want to be sewing myself into a migraine whilst trying to pack too.

So the super simple snack bag was born.
Plastic lined (for easy wipe clean) and with a window to remind me of the goodies within!

I used some left over clear plastic from a table cloth protector.


Inevitably a full tutorial is on my bloggy blog blog http://littleblackteapot.blogspot.com

A very good friendy is very inconsiderately having a baby across the world from me. To make myself feel better (since I can't afford to visit them) I'm crafting like a mad thing.
From this mania was born:

I heart him!
He's all from stash but his eyes are from shrink plastic which are sewn on like buttons thanks to a hot needle to make the holes.

Also- did you know its incorrect to call this kind of dino a brontosaurus? there is no such dino anymore. this is more closley a diplodocus of the apatosuarus(es). Husband and I had a wikipedia battle over it when I erroneously called him a bronto when he was done!

Plants vs Zombies! Love it and love your homage!

[love it!]

love it!

Oooh! I've been lurking around and admiring this theme of threads for so long. The items are so mouthwateringly beautiful. And finally two Saturdays ago I got to try the style out for myself. I volunteer for Oxfam at a new Reworked for Oxfam store in Reading UK. The idea is that we take some of their thrift clothes and alter them to try and sell. Sometimes this is just a simple change of buttons or hemming a little but SOMETIMES you can take a slightly stained white and boring corset and go bananas! All the lace and ribbon was donated.
This free and loose method is really not easy for me so I still couldn't manage the "floatiness" of some of the beautiful garments here but I'm closer!
