Cos update - Jo Grant

I have been the most terrible at taking pics of this my current project. So. I'll just talk a bit I guess.



So I decided to make this Jo for Gallifrey, I flip flopped on it for awhile because I wanted something new, but didn't know what I might have time for, etc.
But it ended up working out, I found something that looks like wool but isn't wool at the local fabric store, for a reasonable price, so then I had to 8D

Christmas 2013 in crafts! (part two)

Some more things from Christmas!

So my sister really liked the camera case I made myself in September, so I got out those same fabric scraps and some lace and made one for her camera.



Camera case & kitty bag!

Christmas 2013 in crafts! (part one)

This Christmas I made a lot of handmade gifts.

For my family, but there's a lot of them (so Imma break this post up).

Some things I remembered to take pics of when I finished them, and others I was like "Augh gotta get a pic before I wrap it!" so sorry for blurry, not ironed things for some of them :/




Stuff what I made!

2013 Cos review addendum

I skipped right over CoCo!
That’s because I didn’t wear anything new, not really. But it was still one of my highlights because I got to spend lots of time with Aimee’s little ladies, R & J <3

2013 - Cos Review

2013 is over!

Here’s what was new, cos wise:




Suuuuuper scaled back on the production this year, apparently. I didn't necessarily feel like I did less though.

I had planned on doing more Historical in 2013, but I only managed two.
Highlights after the break!

Current Project!

So my next day in travel is really daunting ‘cause we took like 1000 pics (we did the Rome circuit at a run basically) so I keep putting it off. So much so, that I’m actually going to post progress pics of what I’m working on right now.

Whoooo current! So this project is pretty much a challenge to myself, on multiple levels. I wanted to use up fabric (so no buying anything fabric for this), I wanted to work more with creating my own textiles (inspired by the awesome art quilts I keep seeing), I wanted to create something out of my norm (organic and not about the clean lines), and I wanted to create a fairy that wasn’t a corset with stuff shoved under it.

Right now I’m succeeding with using up fabric, and not being clean about it (uh, it is, in fact, a mess). So just a heads up, a lot of these were taken at night so the lighting is just… weird. And I didn’t want to muck about with fixing it. I started with a pile of fabric:




And went from there!

Update of bags!

As always, so behind on things. I keep posting things long past. Which I will continue to do, until I'm caught up, but still. I thought something a bit more recent would be nice :D

Anyway, I made this last month.


I really needed a camera case! And I'd been meaning to make once since the protector sticker thing I had on the screen randomly SLID OFF in my bag one day in Japan and the screen got scratched. That was well over two years ago. So yeah, long over due.

Progress & detail pics to follow!
