I like bloghopping for inspiration for my crafts, but sometimes you think NO!:eek:

Mind you, she's got the right figure for it!

She's actually made what we call a 'tailors dummy' out of duct tape!

Here's the instructions in case anyone else wants a try! :rotfl:

I have finished making another bag out of old magazines. The instructons for the clutch bag are on jamtarts blog if you follow it. I just made this one a bit bigger and put handles on the top.

I thought it was an actual dress till I read her blog :rotfl::rotfl:very clever what she did though... I would look too much like a silver Michellin woman, not a nice image and to much duct tape :eek::D

I love the link to the covered notebook tutorial :A

I've just got to grips with how to use my sewing machine at the weekend, I made a morse bag!

I've been drooling over fat 1/4s fabric online, don't think i'm up to quilting so I think a covered notebook will have to go on my to do list :T

My DS (15) who has Aspergers has taken a liking to the sewing machine, he thinks it may take over from his laptop as no1 obsession :eek:
If anyone has any links to sewing stuff (easy) suitable for teenage boys I'd appreciate it :T

rufus - love the bag...............oh if only I had the patience to do that -think I'd find it too fiddly for my old fingers. Such a super idea.

As for the mannequin...........I'll pass on that one I think................lol:rotfl:

Got felt now so I can start on hat for Noddy egg cup..........have packed Big Ears away in his box so he's all ready to post............he really did look more like a traffic cone every time I looked ................lol:rotfl:

Hello! I'm new round here but I've been reading this this post since it started and loving all the ideas so I thought I had better introduce myself. "Hello!" :-)

I'm keeping a note of all the lovely crafts but I think getting round to actually making the things will be another matter! I'm full of good intentions!

I did have a go at the knitted mittens / wrist warmers that were mentioned a few pages back. I've never knitted ANYTHING before and I was really please with how they turned out! (Thanks in no small part to my Mum's excellent tutoring!) I have to confess I didn't cast on or off though so I *almost* knitted them all myself! (Thank you again Mum!) I'll save learning how to cast on and off for the next pair I make! :-)

I'll keep an eye out for some suitable Christmas crafts and post here to share.

Happy crafting everyone!
