i'd so love to do this one for my first craftster swap... i'm all full of good gothy ideas... pass me that velvet scrap over there...

i love the colours! everything should be this bright!

i can't post a pic of the front til the move is over..

this is a microfleece hoodie with a couple of stars randomly appliqued on the front, which is inconsequential, since everyone who sees it gravitates to the hood.

you can really tell you're a pro. i wish applique liked me as much as you... i'll get it right one of these days..

i am beginning to think thatr none of us should be allowed near sewing machines at all... not even in  the same room with one.. tho i guess then we'd have nothing to talk about. here's a tale from  a different menace: i was using my upholstery shears on a project about three months ago when the phone rang, so i was running across the room to get it and the shears slipped out of my and point down onto my poor big toe. the nail split halfway up my toe. i am still trying to grow it out. no pain, but i am supre paranoid that i'm going to get it stuck on my sock or somesuch.

you are super talented.

i don't know if this will make sense or not, but how i would try it would be to cut my foundation layer first, then do the ruching on the black bit on top of it so i could see exactly where the gathers would go. baste the uncut lace to the nude bit, then cut around it with the ruching already in place. it might be the easiest way.

making things from fleece is actually really easy, as long as your scissors are sharp..

that was totally worth coming back for the pics! thanks for sharing- those are wicked!
