I think you could make something like this, if you made two of 1 and two is the torso area. You could sew a little of the ties together too, to ensure you didn't flash too much flesh

Have been watching this thread for a while, and decided to have a play with some watercolours (and acrylics, but not on the fashion doodle per se) this afternoon. The results :

With my construction notes for myself




On it's own

My grandfather just had a heart attack, and we're driving up to London to see him tommorow, but with all the stuff whizzing round my head, I found it impossible to sleep tonight, so i give you:

My therapy bag. Therapy as in theraputic to make, rather than... carrying stuff to a therapy session i guess It's very floppy, but I like it that way, it's a manifestation of how i currently feel. Or something.




And the lining...

I got my fantastic ATCs from Kurtzie today - can you believe they're her first! They're going to be going in a rainbow ATC book I'm making, so hopefully I can post pics of them in their new home soon, here they are on their own for now -



Thanks again Kurtzie!

Onethenice - that goddess is beautiful, i took on a massive project in trying to cover every surface of the first beaded doll I made in beads, and fizzled out rather once i'd done the front....

The crochet hook roll I made shootingstar - glad you liked it

which hangs awfully It looked rather different in my mind's eye, and i'm not entirely convinced that the fabrics match now it's put together. I am however extremely proud of my first finished garment that is both wearable (as in well fitting), and that i designed and drafted myself! It closes with a zipper, and will be fully lined when i'm less excited about it being finished (or looking finished at least)!

Hey, i'm new to this board (but not entirely to ATCs, i've just been busy since it was created) but today i had a... burst of creativity? Actually i had a lot of history notes to write up, and my pretties sidetracked me

So, this is (almost) a rainbow of ATCs, orange and pink aren't quite done in this picture, but i put them in anyway for continuity...



...and the pink one finished....



and another three i did a while back and didn't post

I'd like to claim artsiefartsie for the jcrew fabric and the celestial fabric please (I hope that's what you meant by two lots, if not please let me know!)

This is my first claim.

I'm offering...

Glass beads -



Glass Pendant, sorry no chain, it's just hung on yarn in the pic. Oh, and it's not suitable for vegetarians, hence why I want it off my hands!



Gift boxes - Pick any combination of them... -



Set of three beaded 'flower' ATCs



Selection of greetings cards -

I had a go at this too -

I veeerry rarely post projects here, mainly because i veeerry rarely remember/can be bothered to take pictures

But I wanted a visual record of my Textiles GCSE work anyway, so... here goes. Two projects.

The first is my story sack, which is where you pick a book (''ten out of bed'', it's like ten in a bed but not) and then theme a sack... thingy on it. It goes to either a primary school class, or a special school class, i cant remember which it was this year.. I'll probably get marked down for its lack of bright/contrasting colours (for stimulating... stuff), but i was going for more mamas and papas than fisher price

Cubey toy thing (it says ten-out-of-bed on the sides), book and reverse side (touchy-feely stars. Yes, stars are shades of red ¬.¬)



Front! I'm thinking maybe i should have clothed the kid now, but... it's done now, so he'll just have to be cold.



Aaand the second project, which was something christmassy, either christmas themed, or for a present. First i wanted to do an advent calender, then i realised it wasn't long enough 'till the start of december, then i wanted to do a stocking, but i couldnt find stuff to quilt it in my diddy little town. Batting, and tasteful-ish fat quarters being the main problems

So i present to you... coasters. XD *snicker*

It's the criss-cross coasters pattern, from... well, a blog, somewhere in cyberspace! Let me know if it was yours, and i'll credit you. It was easy peasy, and looks complicated enough to impress my textiles teacher
