Hello all! 

Everytime I see a great craft for clothes, (Sweater into a wedding dress!  Tshirt into pants!) I get the urge to do them.  The problem is that while I can sew by hand, I don't know how to use a sewing machine, or how to use a pattern.  Is anyone giving lessons?  Any places that offer to teach people how to sew clothes?  Even anyone who teaches people simply how to use a sewing machine?  If there's nothing, maybe that would be a great on the side job...I would definately, be down for that. 

So I'm about to buy some luggage, after researching everything I have finally picked out two that I like.  Unforunately, they're pretty bland colors, the type that will blend in with everyone elses.  How can I make it look different? 

Sorry I didn't know where to put this topic, and a suitcase is like a huge purse...so I figured this might be the right topic. 

Hey all!  I'm looking for a place with a wide selection of fabric.  I'm talking bolts of it.  Any great places?

Where can you get the rug canvas? 

I love the skirt from your dad's shirt.  The saying is pretty funny!  How did you make them?

That's an awesome bench!  Makes me want to add more furniture to my small small room

Thank you for your suggestions!  I'll have to try them out.   

Hello!  I want to make my boyfriend something really special for this birthday, something personalized and not too expensive since I dont have a lot of money. 
I want to make him something involving light and photos, or more specifically light from a lamp.  I saw this and I was wondering, any ideas on how to make this lampshade or some variation of it?
