Class: Chaser
House: Ravenclaw
Project name: Red ear cuff
Brief description: As a chaser (or most sportswomen actually) you're not allowed to wear earrings. This is mostly because when it would catch on something it would rip out. I figured an earcuff would be safe enough to wear zooming around in the sky.

Class: Cheering Sqaud
House: Hufflepuff
Project Name: Hufflepuff Coasters
Brief Description: I got this sewing with felt book that had some cute coaster in it. In the book the circle coaster had quilted circles to help it stay together. I decided to put an H on it insted for Hufflepuff. I ended up making 4 of them. Also I swear that the dark navy blue color looked black when I was picking it out.

Class: Cheering/Team spirit
House: Gryffindor
Project Name: The Sorting hat thread catcher and pincushion I belong in GRYFFINDOR!
Project Link: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=412179.0
Brief Description:
Ive been seeing a lot of thread catchers on peoples pin boards and thought I'd like one but, I cant just have a bag with a strap and a cushion I would need to geek it out some how. And it came to me the sorting hat with a gryffindor striped handle and a pincushion on the end. The hat I made with felt and all hand sewed the strap and pincushion are cotton and machine sewed. What makes it great is I didn't hide my seems which add to the hat patched and raggedness. You can roll him up and put him on display or just unroll the pincushion from the handle and hang from what ever surface you are sewing from.

Eiseldora I love that skirt!! What pattern did you use?

when I was looking for historical representation of common wear I found a few images of a female in corset/vest that was differently colored from the skirt.  the skirt was depicted  with two seams on the front along the legs. I also talked to SCA members who told me most skirts were made  at least 1.5 the width of a winona hips so she could keep wearing during pregnancy. In some costuming manuela I found a technique of adding a drawstring hem, and ribbon hem to the base.

It seems that most embroidering was used on edging to keep fabric from fraying and add style. I don't have time for anything that fancy though.

You are a very talented crafter, and you can only get better by practice. Maybe you should try your hand at Beater. Don't let everyone intimidate you.

I never would have thought to replace the inside of a eyeglass case Maybe you can keep working on repario charms until you master it, or you can try something new. Remember you only fail if you refuse to try.

Description:I dont know where to begin to explain this here I go.
I tried making something new I have never crocheted anything in my life.
I was trying to make a potholder. It turned into (the first photo)
OH what kind of mess is this? This wont do So I have another idea.
With a wave of my  wand I used some transfiguration to turn it into a hat for my rat Remus.
His head  has been chilly as of late.
(The extra strings are ties for under his head but he didnt let me tie them)
