My boyfriend loves the show Falling Skies so I stenciled the logo on a shirt for him. There's a smudge/splatter on it but I can live with it.



No action shot because he's on an offshore rig right now. He might not let me get an action shot, either because he doesn't like his picture taken.

When I got smileyyogini's swap info and saw that she likes Chocobos, I couldn't resist embroidering this for her. He's done completely in satin stitch except for his outline, which is split stitch.
I drew a Chocobo after looking at various references then traced it onto the fabric using my lightbox.

Pinks, I love your socks! I adore argyle patterns!

Here's what I've got so far on my embroidery:


It's not much but I keep having to stop because my fingers hurt.
Here's the template I drew up so you can see what it will look like:

My dad got me into The Walking Dead but I missed most of the episodes due to work. So I bought seasons one and two on dvd to catch up a bit.
Like a lot of fans, Daryl is my favorite character (one reason is Norman Reedus is one of my favorite actors). I wanted an official shirt but after buying some craft supplies, I didn't have $20 for an official shirt so I made my own with a freezer paper stencil.


Action shot:


Yes, I am a barefoot zombie hunter. And my eyes are closed because of the sunshine.

A funny little story to go with it:
My dad didn't like my shirt because he taught me to shoot and said "If there's a zombie apocalypse, don't hide behind ANYONE! Defend yourself like I taught you to!" Then I explained why I made it and he laughed. I'll post the why later because it will have its own thread.

Why must fandom shirts be so expensive? I like official merch but this will do for now:


It has a few smudges but I can live with it.
That crossbow was a PITA to cut out but it was worth it in the end.

I have a t-shirt on underneath it because it's more revealing that I intended.

My first halter top using my own pattern:

Project Name: A little too sexy halter

Brief Description: I have made clothes for myself before but never using my own pattern. So I drew up a pattern for a halter top. It came out a little more revealing that I wanted but I will still wear it (only when going out with the boyfriend because he is a creep deterrent).

I made a halter top with my own pattern and it came out a little too revealing for my taste, hence the t-shirt underneath. I have since tweaked the pattern and will be making another, less revealing top with it later. I also need to widen and lengthen the straps a bit.
