Did a quick google img search for mandolin:


Uh... it sorta looks like one! If you cut out the No Image bit. ^^

Good luck with everything!

Edit: Tute on p2! http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=52680.msg512456#msg512456

I decided to finally get around to posting a project of mine from a few months ago: meet Susie! Ain't she cute? Pattern mostly mine, very simple. Photos don't do justice:


Sewn entirely by hand, including looooooooots of buttons. Thrifted fabrics- I love the rose one. The little polkadots are actually pink on white, if you can't see. Mismatch metal button eyes and a little embroidered smile.


Face

Twirl!


What do you think? I love her ^^.

definitely 

edit:

I thought I'd share with you my very first dart. ^^ I did make the idiotic mistake of pinning wrong sides together on my practice fabric, but my ego and I are pretending it's perfect.
I don't know why the pic is so crappy...



Evidently I didn't cut the edge as straight as I thought I did, but whatever. Now that I know a bit more about how this works, all I have to do is find some fabric to match...
I really hope my bag doesn't turn out all mutilated >< at least knitting I know more what the h*ll I'm doing!

 

Lo knitters! I was wondering if anyone knows anything about lining a bag knit on rounds. The shape seems like it would be really hard to line (w/ just regular fabric). I'm wondering if it's possible.

Here's a pic or two. Sorry about the size.

excuse my shadow  

and for fun, action shot!



What do you think? I've never seen lining done like this before, and I don't think it can be. But it would be nice. Oh, and this is a mix of patterns. I can splain it if you want. Thanks for looking!

so cute!

and


hehehehe! Poor kid!

not much of a help myself, but I was wondering if maybe a pic would help, so that the good seamstresses know whatcher talking about.

do you mean like this?:



and don't mind that weird drunken expression.... sigh, google images...

Good luck!

Thanks everybody (comments!  )

I actaully have been messing around with the weave- here's something my friend and I (same friend) did with buttons. Same idea... twisted so you can see both sides.

why, anything you like! (I can make a hat, I can make a brooch, I can make a pterodactyl...)

er... ok.

This is a reversable purse insert type-thing, to put whatever you like in, and then you put it in your purse. It's for my frog-obsessed friend. The frog side is old pajamas and the circly side is dog bandanna! Like the always put on him when you bring him home from the groomer's.

Outside:


Inside:

Inside has an ever so slightly skewed pocket. It's really not as bad as it looks in the picture.

Also, a button bracelet to match using the poptab weave. 

Bracelet

It's twisted so you can see both sides.

Wow, those pictures are really weirdly sized! Stupid me... Anywho, comments please!

edit: hehe sorry about the R in the title... whatever. :

yeah. Basic bracelets using a pattern from on here. Sorry about ugly carpet, excessive amount of
(poor quality) photos because my friend and I were having too much fun with the camera, etc.
21 poptabs per bracelet.

If anyone has any questions about the weave feel free to ask. 






I know that in that last pic it looks like my thumb's at a painful angle, but it's not.

Oh, and my friend says that anybody wanting to try this should remember that all the poptabs on top have to go a different way than all the poptabs on the bottom, or the holes to thread the string through won't be shaped right.
