thanks. its mostly made with hot glue. lol. i watched a tutorial on lolita headband making on youtube and i have made several of them since. they are really easy and very functional. you could make one if you wanted.

also, i have finally made it to 10 items! 15 left to go! yay me!

here is my halloween quilt!:



it took me a little longer than expected, but i got it done before halloween as i was aiming.

edit:
progress on my shirt!


just buttons left to put on!

Your shirt looks lovely, bsw! And that's a fun quilt. :)

I've been too busy to do much crafting for a while now, but I'm working on crocheting some little mary jane slippers for myself. Just got some buttons for those - maybe I'll finish them tonight. If it goes well I'm hoping to whip some up for my sisters and the moms/grandma for xmas.

How is everyone else doing? Got holiday giftmaking underway? :)

I kind of stopped working on the dishcloths for NanoWrimo (though I should spend a little bit of time each day to work on them).

Good news though: The number dropped, apparently my mom's group decided not to exchange gifts this year.

yay! thank you so much belly button!

also, yay for a lower demand on your skills. lol gives you more time to do other things!

Finished the slipper thingers! No pattern this time, just tried to copy a photo, so they turned out pretty good considering. Next pair I'll aim for a less square toe, because it's a little roomy by the pinky toe. Also need to cinch in the side edges just a wee bit more when I do the accent at the end.

SPOILERX

Those slippers are super cute!

This looks really fun! I would love to join in. :)

oh yay! another person joining the challenge! thats awesome!

oh and you have a 3-D printer!!! thats so exciting! i was thinking of getting one because i wanna make my own shoes and what i want to make i cant do with fabric. how big is yours? how much did you pay? where did you get it?

also, i just spent 3 hours sewing on a dress.... and its not done

Got you all set up, salvete. :) Glad to have you on board.

just so you guys know, i am aiming to have this dress finished on by friday so i can wear it friday. not sure im going to do it, but im going to try. just have to sew on the ruffles, sew the skirt together, sew the skirt to the top and attach the zipper and straps. probably another 3 hours and it'll be done.

You can do it! :)

i mostly did it. the ruffles made me look fat, so i had to take them off. ill have pictures of it today though.

I bet it looks awesome. :)

it does now! pictures soon to come. im wearing it right now! so comfortable and adorable! i cant wait to show you guys


edit: so i couldnt find my charger for my phone for a while, but here they are! Pictures of my fox dress!




edit:

ok! I have updated my count to 13! yay! more than half way there!! but less than that in time left so i better keep at it!

well im making wine labels for our commissioned wine and that should be about 15 labels. so once i have them done, ill be done this challenge!

That dress is so adorable! I am loving that fox print! Very cute!

thanks! how is your challenge coming along? got anything done yet? wanna share pictures of your progress?

*fails at starting conversations*

anyways... here is my Christmas dress! i just finished it! it took a bit to get it to fit right but I think it looks alright now.



the back: a little bit blurry...


and here are the sleeping sacks! (i only took one picture of the whole thing has they are rather big)



and that makes 16 of 25! not bad.

better pictures:

Sorry, things have been pretty busy at work, but good news, is I am done with the craft challenge (though I still have one more to work on before x-mas).

I really like that christmas dress that you made bsw! Looks really cute!

I'll have to try to get some pictures posted (gotta get them off the phone first :P )

I met my quota too, though my post is seriously behind! Hopefully I'll get that wrangled before the new year starts. :)

theoretically i met my quota if you include the wine bottle labels. which i made in photoshop and then printed and cut and stuck to the bottles, but i think im going to only count that as one (when i get the pictures up) because i did like 15 give or take and i feel like its kinda cheating as it was all really the same kind of thing. also they were really fast and easy. thinking them up took more time then doing.

but congratulations to both of you for making your quotas!

Did get that no sew throw done. woo hoo! And just in time for x-mas. ^-^;;

Good news is I've already got some projects lined up for next year. So many people are having babies in april/may. So i've got to make some stuffed animals and at least one blanket. Oy vey. It's going to be a busy few months, lol.

I want to crochet shawls and more slippers! And actually use my sewing machine.

Welp, I did not complete my challenge last year, but that's not going to stop me from starting a new one for 2015! Hooray!

you can do it chexala! never give up and one day, it will happen like magic.


i have a feeling im not going to meet mine, but thats because i have been challenging myself to make bigger items.

I'd really like to get back into my sewing projects this year. I have so many things in my sewing box that just need a bit of mending to get back into my closet! Once I get some of that stuff taken care of, then I'll feel able to tackle bigger projects. I'd love to make some cosplay outfits this year. Kim from Dresdon Codak, The Scythian from Sword&Sworcery, and Red from Transistor.

BSW, even if you don't meet your challenge quota, I think all the work you've done this past year is great! You've made so many cute things! I particularly like your black lace-trimmed shirt.
