CROCHET / Crochet: Completed Projects / crochet bats with googly eyes
|

bat by drunkenlibraria, on Flickr i made a few bats for halloween--i crocheted them in three pieces, two wings and a body, and then sewed them together and glued on glow-in-the-dark googly eyes. this big boy is two strands of black yarn with a P hook, i think it was, and the little guys are one strand with a J hook. bats3 by drunkenlibraria, on Flickr i think they came out super cute and they didn't take long to make, once i got my wings down.  i'm happy to share the wing "pattern" if anyone wants it--you can make a bat in half an hour or so, so it's great for last minute battifying.

CROCHET / Amigurumi: Completed Projects / emergency meal owls

i made these for a friend's charity ho-down...each is filled with a cup and a half of rice and beans, so in case of emergency you can open up the sewn flap and stave off hunger for a day or so.  blue owl by drunkenlibraria, on Flickr and pink owl by drunkenlibraria, on Flickr each owl is made with several strands held together and is about a foot or so in diameter. the stuffing and beans-and-rice are enclosed in a fabric lining, so the inner pillow can also be removed if the outside needs to be washed. hopefully they'll make a couple buck for breast cancer research! just thought i'd share--i miss them already.

CLOTHING / Clothing: Completed Projects: General / mushroom applique flat-front apron

 this is a lined, flat-front apron i made with a raspberry-colored cotton sheet, some cute mushroom print fabric, unbleached canvas for the big pockets and then more off the colored fabrics for the pleated pocket and mushroom applique. i think i will also sew some pearl buttons on the little button placket, but i haven't gotten around to it yet.  i gave it a fairly wise waist band and a big fluffy bow for the back.  here's a picture of the mushroom!

CLOTHING / Clothing: Completed Projects: General / owl applique tshirt for back-to-school
|

 today is my next-to-last real day of summer vacation before i start the new school year on monday, so i decided to make a tshirt in the spirit of back-to-school...though it's a little bosomy to wear to work, i'll be thinking "back-to-school" in my heart and neighborhood.  ironed some double-sided fusible on the various recycled tshirt layers, tacked them down with the iron and then sewed them together--they're all pretty thin tshirts, so it's not particularly thick or stiff even though there are several layers to the owl. the eyes are a stack of some strange one-holed buttons held on with a couple regular dark mother-of-pearl buttons.
