...handmade by moi out of zippers!
There was one of the facebook things going around where you had to promise to make up to 5 handmade gifts in 2011 for the people who commented on your post. Well it's Dec 9 and I am finished! lol... This one is yours Charlie!
p.s. did I mention how much I dislike sewing!!!
oh and the measurements in case you want to make it?
1 x 8 inch length of zipper
6 x 4 inch lengths
6 x 3 inch lengths
The centre is made from the 8 inch length. Sew a running stitch along the length of it near the edge of the fabric and gather so it curls up.
The petals are made similarly with a little gather in the middle and then sewing them in a petal shape.
Then sew all the petals and the centre together trying not to stab yourself too many times.
I recommend red zippers as it hides the blood better!
Top finished...yay! I almost want to keep this all to myself, so I really hope my buddy loves it! Any suggestions for quilting?? I've only done straight line quilting and I'm not sure if I want to try anything fancy with it...
cherry wood from our forest, sliced, painted, freshly lacquered and drying... little pendants for the weekly market - good fun making them with good feedback! each one a one-of-a-kind, of course :)
I added a cute little clear rhinestone eye and pink glitter on the wings of this aqua bird charm.
I love aqua and pink together!! :-)
My progress so far for the next minifee dresses. These ones were labor intenseive, whew! Finished the skirt portion, so now I can start the bodices. These dresses will be much more fitted, so they will only fit dolls very close in size to a minifee.
Flat, slightly pointed agate beads separated by goldplated bicone metal beads, 3 polymer clay beads with red, white, gold and dashes of black separated by goldfilled beads. Outstanding without being over the top hence a siren thats slightly shy, not loud.
