Thanks you you two.

Oh my gosh that is so cute! I love it! The bunny and the blanket look super soft. Great job!

Oh my gosh that is so cute. I didn't used to care if something was in style or not and don't too much no but this style is coming back "in" right now where I live. I've always loved poofy sleevesit's just a plus that I don't get teased for being unfashionable.
Your shirt is so cute. I need to go to the thrift store again.... I love the little rose. It's a nice touch.

You could always try little clothes for it. But it should only wear them supervised. Or some little blankets. Or a hammock. I don't know if hamsters like hammocks or not but it cna't hurt to try.

I wouldn't write the pants off so soon. If you hand sewed them it's pretty typical to have this sort of thing happen. I havea  skirt I hand sewed and it's popped seams so many times it's not funny. But now I have a sewing machine and intend to fix it.
I'd recomend using a freinds sewing machine or your mothers if you have acess to it. And just going over any stiches in a zig-zag or even a straight stich. Sewing machines are just so much better than hand sewing.
Good luck!

I have that same problem with faux fur. It sheds gets everywhere while you're cutting it, sewing it and stuffing it. I've found that if you take a rt tail comb and "part" the fur like you would hair it gets you a fairly straight line to cut with less shedding.
I'm not sure if this will owrk for your material or not. It all depends on how it's put together. Faux fur has a stiff backing that it's all attached to. But hey it's worth a shot.
I still have brown fur in my couch. I don't recomend cutitng out fabric on one's sofa. And I don't recomend wearing nice lcothes while sewing. I was wearing dress pants for some reason and got fur all over them. It sticks worse that real fur. lol! My poor washer took a beating let me tell you!

I really love the grey and pink pairs. Now I know how to get my leggins I need so bad.

Okies I decided to re-con a t-shirt for "beach day" at church. We're decorating it in beach stuff and suppsoed to wear beach clothes. it's going to be fun.
however I have no beach clothes. I haven't been to the beach since I was little. So I have no idea what this means. And that means asking hubby over and over again to go through my wardrobe and help me out.
(poor guy)
So I decided to re-con a t-shirt into a halter top. Seemed easy enough. I picked out a tee that as to tight in the sleeves and figured it would be easy to tranform from tube top to halter top. At walmart otday buying ribbon for the halter tie I saw this cute yellow cotton that matcehd the yellow in the butterfly on the front of the tee so I bought it. I got home started cutting yeah tube top! It fits and I actually cut my shirt straight! Score 1! hjubby measured my hips and my boobs so I could edge the shirt with yellow fabric. I cut my fabric and proceded to spend three hours sewing. Upon finishing I attempt to try on finished shirt. Unfortunetly this is here I realize that I bought a non strechy knit cotton it's stiff and doesnt strech and my hips are more narrow than noy boobs so I can't get the thing over my boobs to try it on. Yeah I should know about mixing fabrics by now. I'm not a big time newbie. My mom has lectured me on this ovcer and over. But I didn't read the decription of the fabric and here I am. With one totally cute shirt that I cannot wear. I can probably salvage the shirt with a zipper or something but it's jsut frustrating becasue now it's midnight and all I have to wear tommarrow is a pair of cut off jeans. GRRRRR.
I will save the shirt buy a zipper at some point and try  to fix it. But still .GRRRRR>

Wow! My sewwing machine would eat me before letting me sew something like this. But it's awesome! I love the details. The butterfly is a beautiful efect.

I made this for Devaint Art's GReat plushie Contest. I didn't place but there were so many really impressive entrys that it didn't surprise me. However I am very pleased becasue It had been awhile since I'd made a plushie and I hand sewed the whole thing. I used a bunch of scrap Faux fur for most of it. And some brown curdoroy that matched for anything non fur. I also used white cotton for the wings and purple felt for the paws. The tail was purple knit that I cut into strips and braided when the original felt tail was not big enough.

Please ignore my microwave. The kitchen is the best lit room in the house. So I took the pictures in there.
The pattern was completely made by me. Which ment I miss made several peices and had to re-do them as I went. The head was origianlly too small so it got re-made, the tail was to wierd so I remade it with the version you see here. And I should have weighed his feet and legs down with rice or beans and didn't so he doesn't always stand up properly.
I will probably be remaking it at some point becasue it came out nothing like I had wanted.
