As much as i hated the movie... the party monster soundtrack is so fantastic. god damn. that shirt definately rules me<3<3

even though i HATE trucker hats, these are too great. hahah. i love it.<3

i cringed when i read your grommet story!! poor dear. I have this great little tool that makes grommeting about a billion times easier. It looks like a hole puncher, but it actually inserts grommets. you put a piece of the grommet on both sides of the fabric and squeeze the puncher... saves a lot of time. that way, you can keep the awesome lacey part of those arm dealies. which are super cute btw.

interfacing is the secret to making bags, definitely.  also known as the BEST INVENTION EVER..  i strongly recommend getting fusible interfacing (iron-on) because it saves so much time.  otherwise you have to baste all the interfacing to the fabric, and it just doubles the amount of time you spend on your project.

 i just realized that my local joann's has a 40% sale on interfacing like once a month.  homemade ties and handbags, here i come...

What would you suggest as the best interfacing? i'm quite a novice... This was actually my second time using it. When i went to buy the stuff, i ended up getting Lampshade type interfacing, which is quite strong. Any suggestions would be awesome!<3

it wasn't too bad... The shirt was really stretchy, but i used a super strong fusible interfacing to stop it from stretching and to give it some form. The bag wouldn't have worked without that interfacing.

i'm so glad you like it! i'm really proud. hehe.
