Brilliant!! What a handy website, thank you so much for sharing. This should be a great start for me.

My goal is to make a white shaggy fur capelet with a hood. I prefer not to spend money on a pattern when it seems a simple enough project to do myself, though admittedly I'm not yet quite skilled enough to draft one without help.

Something tells me it's going to start out looking like a circle cape, but I am concerned about the shaggy fabric not draping well over my shoulders and just sticking out too far and looking silly.

What wisdom do you have for me?

I'm getting started on my Halloween costume early this year! I'll be going as a Lost Boy, from Peter Pan. Not any particular version, just something I made up in my head.

I got a couple yards of faux fur from Joanne's, the white shag kind. I want to make a short cape, one that ends just above my elbows with a hood and some wolf ears. I'm still a novice seamstress and am nervous about trying anything without a pattern...

I found this thread: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=387511.0
Featuring a furry hat. I'll probably reference that for the ears.

Any tips or suggestions for patterns I can use or what things I'll need to look out for when tackling this project?

One thing I'm wondering is, does it matter what kind of fabric I use for the lining? I didn't want to do anything too terribly warm since I live in Florida...

Thanks for the input!

Wow, I've never seen stitches like that on duct tape. Very unique! And your little owl is adorable. =) Your edges look so clean too! Do you have a pattern or tutorial? These look very professionally done.

In my recent Etsy travels, I have come across this seller of rather splendid duct tape wallets: http://www.etsy.com/shop/jDUCT?section_id=5076479

These are by far the best looking DT wallets I've ever seen, and partly because there is NO overlap whatsoever that I can see! How is this done? I would imagine that using very large sheets of duct tape would be the answer, but where on earth does one find something like that? Any ideas?

This year I was a cavewoman/jungle queen!

I made everything myself. Used this tutorial here for the corset bit: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=323906.0

The necklace I made with black and ivory Sculpey.









Thanks for looking. =)

Your makeup is incredible! Best Cheshire Cat costume I've seen, for sure!

This is too stinkin adorable! I love the big Yoda ears!
