Finished Baskets - Part 2

JailhouseBabe

Sorry rustyflange
But hey, go for it! What have you got to lose? I haven't tried using it myself yet, I was thinking of making a canvas tote bag for my friend's birthday with a photo of her boys on it.

BTW, every time I look at your name I wonder if you spent a long time single IYKWIM?

Jailhouse babe ... please step away from the computer ...


You are costing me pennies ... you have given me a brilliant idea for OH's top gear hamper that I am doing .....

I have bought him a tshirt which says I AM THE STIG however it was £15 which is quite expensive ... I looked and saw they did childrens ones which says MY DAD IS THE STIG these were a similar price but I really wanted them for my 2 children to add to his hamper ..... so now I am thinking I can get some of that paper and buy 2 cheapy tshirts and print them myself?? you think that would work??

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Coldn't agree more!! Thanks JailhouseBabe, I'm going to have a bash at that!

Made this for my Niece's 18th, Pandora charm was not exactly a bargain but the bubbly was £2.50, candle £1 and the glass £1.99:


This was my best friends: Leave in conditioner was about £11, the rest was from pinkies and three for 2 gifts:

Thanks for the link, it made me do a search for dark fabric ... I am wondering if on dark fabric it comes out ok though? ... some of the ones I have seen have been a full picture which looks like a big square white with pic on a dark tshirt but ideally I want just lettering I really don't know if I can do this or not I have 16 days to decide wether I am capable of finding 2 x black tshirts one for a 2 year old and one for a 6 year old then dorting the transfers out to say the lettering.

Failing that its £24 for me to order the 2 tshirts in the correct size for the kids.

What are my chances?

Kandi I just spotted your hampers on the other thread, they look fantastic, the 18 one looks massive, then I saw your hand :rotfl: just shows how decieving pictures are Well done I am sure they will go down a treat!

Cheeky madam ... nah its nothing like that ... I am a fully trained mechanic, although now never touch cars ... I used to have a subaru amd modded it, one of the mods was a custom made exhaust pipe which I had to go for as the original pipe had a rusty flange I was dared to sign up to a car forum using that name (I won the £10 bet ) and it has just kind of stuck for all other forums

Thanks Rusty, yeah they were both very well recieved.:T :T
The 18th basket is the old Ikea ones, and the bubbly was minature bottles - prob why it looks deceiving. How did your gifts go down at christmas? Was you OH delighted with his Toon Army stuff (and motorbike bits)?

And so they should be

OH was over the moon with his toon hamper loved it and kept putting things back in the box to take them out again and have another look. He told me I was daft for doing the motorbike box but again he loved it.

My sister and her hubby recieved the pots of gold and for the first time ever my sister loved her present and has asked me to do a couple for birthdays throughout the year! they also won £12 between them on the scratchcards.
My mum loved her hamper and passed comment at how much she loved things like this cause of the variety ... so I have the go ahead to make more hampers for her

MIL and FIL both loved their chocky boquets and neither want to touch them cause they look so lovely!!!

I was very impressed that my hard work paid off and have already started on pressies for this year!

Did all of your hampers go down well? How was the movie hamper taken? (one with note in?)

Go for it!! I guess it would come out ok on dark fabric - might be a bit hard if you did the lettering in white though? Also, I'm assuming that the lettering has to be a mirror image?
