Hey Craftsters! I made this purse for my Spanish teacher who's been teaching for 40 years and is retiring. She loves Elvis and I hope she loves this bag too. Enjoy!

The whole bag, excuse my not-so-professional photos.

Thanks everyone for looking!

Hola craftsters! Here's my entry for the macro challenge:

Hey Craftsters! Last summer I went to Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo with my family and I'm just now going through the pictures and fixing them up. Here's just a couple of them that I really like...

Some random little girls looking at a gorilla.. I love the reflection.


Woo Tiger!


I threw the black and white one in because I can't decide which one I like better


Yeah fish!

 Hey Craftsters! I need your help! Okay, my mom is a 2nd grade teacher and she's putting on a play called the Reluctant Dragon. She asked me to make the dragon costume for this little boy.
 I can make the feet and tail pretty easily I think. And I figure he can just wear green clothes. The only thing I have no idea about is the head. Can anyone help me out here? I have to idea where to even begin with this. Thank you very much for reading!

Hello Craftsters! I've just completed my first successful hoodie thanks to gnacissej's wonderfully helpful tutorial (http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=177602.0). I lined it with flannel so it's extremely cozy. I'm so proud of it, I don't think I'll ever take it off.

Here it is!

Woo! Thank you for looking, I'd love to hear your comments!

Hello Craftsters! I just finished my first dress ever and I'm so excited to show it to you guys. =)

Tomorrow night my family is going out to eat for my parents' birthdays, and I had nothing to wear. I've been wanting to make a dress for a long time, and I thought this was the perfect excuse to do so! I love the fabric it's made out of, dark blue and very soft. It took two hours to make. Best part is, it probably cost less than $5 to make!

On to the pictures! Sorry for the not so great webcam shots..

Hello Craftsters!

I'm sure this has been done before, but I'm very happy with it. Introducing my Red Hot Chili Peppers stenciled shirt:

I showed my little brother and I will now be making him a white one just like mine.

Please tell me what you think. Thank you for looking!

Hey Craftsters! This is my first ever circle skirt I made using this tutorial: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=12439.0

I used fabric I got off the clearance rack at Walmart for $2 a yard. Woo!

And here it is:




Twirly shot!



Thanks for looking! Tell me what you guys think.

Hello Craftsters!

After many tries and wasted fabric, I finally managed to make a shirt like this that I'll actually wear. I messed up on the sleeves a bit, and the buttons aren't quite even. Ugh. But I'm happy with it for the most part. And I got this fabric for $1 a yard, woo!





Thanks for looking! Tell me what you think.

Hello Craftsters!

This used to be my mom's over-sized turtleneck long sleeve shirt, which I resized, changed the neckline, and shortened the sleeves. I wish I would've taken a before picture.  Oh, well. It was bad, believe me.
It's not perfect at all, and I made a lot of mistakes, but it was my first time with sleeves and I can actually wear this out. So I'm pretty proud of myself.





Thanks for looking! Tell me what you guys think.
