Post your creations

[pooker]

I know you guys have to do something I mean anything. You dont have to be an artistic genious to post here.

Does anyone do stuff like bead chains? Or those little nubs where you make stuff then iron it to get them to stick together?

I will post some of my stuff, I am working on

Stencil design for a 6 (you will understand more when I post it ;) )

[katzeyez]

It looks great!

[Flowergirl]

Good job Opti!

[Flowergirl]

I can do this....

WEll- I can't figure out how to insert a pic...I thought we could just copy and paste them now...Oh well!

[optimistik1]

if you go to quick reply or go advanced, there's a paperclip attachment, you browse anything on your computer, upload and attach.

Hope this helps!

[Flowergirl]

Ok here goes- Most of yall have seen this before...

[Honey]

Beautiful. I have NO talent!

[Flowergirl]

Well, i am obviously not talented at uploading pictures....
Honey, you are a talented caregiver! Thanks for all you did for me when I was sick! That is the best kind of talent of them all.

[katzeyez]

Wow! FG the quilt is amazing! I love the colors.

[Flowergirl]

All of the fabrics were fabrics from the decor in the different homes that we have had! It is not by any means a work of art, but it means alot to us because of the history. I
made it for my husband for Christmas last year.

[Honey]

Nana, I am going to walmart and buy some yarn and one of those needle things. I'll be down tomorrow to learn me something talented.

[Scarlett O'hara]

Flower and Opt................ya'll should be proud..........

[Scarlett O'hara]

Honey, maybe we could figure out how to spin straw into gold............

[PeachyKeen]

I need to be in on this gold thing. Let me know when the classes are.

[optimistik1]

flowergirl, that quilt is beautiful...and I love that you know where each piece came from and that it means something to you! that is so cool! Glad you learned to upload the picture...Guru made it easy with that attachment thingy!

[PeachyKeen]

Wait. I didn't see a quilt.

[PeachyKeen]

Ohhhhh!! I paged up and saw it!!! That is absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!

[Scarlett O'hara]

Oh, Nana........I always wanted to learn to knit.............did you take classes or just pick it up on your own.........

[optimistik1]

*Opt trying to keep jealousy out of her voice*

Oh wow Nana...those are incredible!!!!!

[Nana]

Oh, Nana........I always wanted to learn to knit.............did you take classes or just pick it up on your own.........

I taught myself to crochet after my MIL had her stroke. She always crocheted and I thought if I did it she would pick it back up but she was never able to master it again. She does enjoy watching me.

There are some things that I just liked better knitted so I tried with the needles. I have very good hand-eye coordination but there was just something about working those two needles together that I could never get the hang of. I have a machine that I use for knitting- I did teach myself to use it and it goes much faster than hand knitting and looks great.

*Opt trying to keep jealousy out of her voice*

Oh wow Nana...those are incredible!!!!!

Thank you very much. I'd make her a new outfit every day if'n I had that much time and she could wear them all. I do sew for the little boys some but it is much more fun doing it for her.

[optimistik1]

You can always tell when something is made with LOVE!!! It just ....shows! :)

I don't know at this point how many Lantana's I have around the place. Some look like this one in one of the garage entry planters.
I also have some multi-colored ones and some of these in the picture all along the roadways at the ranch.

[Flowergirl]

Gorgeous picture Guru! That is a New Gold Lantana.

I used to make clothes for my girls before they entered the designer teens.......made all their Halloween costumes and cute stuff that all matched....I haven't sone any sewing in quite a while.........My sister in law taught me..........she always said that clothes for kids were the easiest because you couldn't see a crooked seam on a galloping horse!!!!!!!!

As far as the knitting machine...............I didn't know there was such a thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm gonna start checking those out.................

[Nana]

Michael's and Hobby Lobby both carry the "Ultimate Sweater Machine". This is what I have- it is easy to use but requires a little space to set it up. I looked at others that were fancier but didn't want something that would have to go in a shop if it broke down. I have a book that shows how to manipulate stitches for different desired effects and I've also learned how to translate most regular hand knitting instructions into machine knitting so it has worked well for the amount of time I spend on it. I made Hawkeye a camoflauge sweater- started it on Sunday afternoon and finished it Monday evening and that included interruptions. I'd do more with it but spend more time sewing, smocking and embroidery. I need more workspace!!

You did that? I am jealous, personally I think it should be mandatory for all grandma's to know how to sew. :) You need to come on over and give me lessons

Looking good, how is the support beam coming along for inside the house?

[Guru]

It's still there but raw Pooker. I'm hoping that some of the crown moulding may start going up this week.
Come sit on The Back Porch one afternoon and enjoy a little break from your tests.

[Honey]

Hold it! Back this baby up! I got me some talent today! I'll show you later but it is gonna be awesome. It may take a few thousand more trips to Nana's house but I will not be defeated.

[Honey]

Oh no! I lost count.

[Scarlett O'hara]

Are you knitting?

[Scarlett O'hara]

Cause I'm gonna be jealous if you are..............

[Honey]

Crocheting. I am not sure how to spell it though. That is a guess on the spelling.

[Scarlett O'hara]

Oh gosh...............I'm impressed!!!

[PeachyKeen]

Oh I would love to learn to crochet!!

[Scarlett O'hara]

Nana doesn't have enough hours in the day to help me!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Scarlett O'hara]

That DaVinci was a smart guy!

Okay folks. Go on about your regular business. My creation will take awhile. It is a very slow process. Check back with me in about two years. I should have enough for a picture then.

[Scarlett O'hara]

:aarggggghhhh::aarggggghhhh::rolleyes::rolleyes::D :D

[Nana]

Oh I would love to learn to crochet!!

I can show you. It isn't hard once you get the hang of it.

Nana doesn't have enough hours in the day to help me!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have faith in you, even if you don't. Sounds like you got talent in several areas.

Okay folks. Go on about your regular business. My creation will take awhile. It is a very slow process. Check back with me in about two years. I should have enough for a picture then.

It isn't going to take that long. You'll be whipping them rows out in no time.

[pooker]

Nana do you know how to thread an old singer sewing machine? I have been reading writeups on how to sew but I do not know how to thread it. I see where the "bobbing" goes that I believe it is called, the bottom is already threaded it is the top. I cannot figure it out.

[Honey]

Honey takes a chair on the front row, waiting on the soon to be inservice from Nana. She reaches into her purse and gets pencil and paper for notes.

[pooker]

Pooker looks around and wonders why we are using first person speaking.

[PeachyKeen]

Pooker you so funny!! It's for special effects!!!:D

[Nana]

Most machines thread pretty much the same way but without seeing it I can't be exact. Can you take a picture of it and post for me to look at?

[pooker]

Old school nana :D

http://www-personal.umich.edu/~sherlyn/Images/singer2.jpg


I get how the thread goes in at the top then wraps around but I am confused about the needle thing and how to thread it up through their?

Also look at that other bobbing that is standing up on the bottom, what is that for?

There is already a bottom thread thingy underneath the "secret hatch" underneath where the needle is that is threaded. Why is their three? I have no idea what that third one is for. I see the one hidden on the bottom threaded, then their is the one on top I am confused about but I know it is for the needle, then their is that one on the side that I have no idea what it does.


Also what is that lever for that has numbers that goes up and down? Is that for the space between the stitching when I pull the cloth through?

[Nana]

Old school nana :D

http://www-personal.umich.edu/~sherlyn/Images/singer2.jpg


I get how the thread goes in at the top then wraps around but I am confused about the needle thing and how to thread it up through their?

You thread the needle from front to back and pull several inches out and under the presser foot to the back. If the bobbin thread is not up top then rotate the handwheel on the side holding the top thread. When you see the bottom thread come up through the metal plate then pull both threads to the back. You always want them to the back when you are stitching

Also look at that other bobbing that is standing up on the bottom, what is that for?

That is where you wind the bobbins and that is your secondary one. Take note of how it is threaded so that when you change threads you'll be able to repeat that.

There is already a bottom thread thingy underneath the "secret hatch" underneath where the needle is that is threaded. Why is their three? I have no idea what that third one is for. I see the one hidden on the bottom threaded, then their is the one on top I am confused about but I know it is for the needle, then their is that one on the side that I have no idea what it does.

The bottom thread thingy is a bobbin in its holder. This and the needle thread is what will make your stitch.

Also what is that lever for that has numbers that goes up and down? Is that for the space between the stitching when I pull the cloth through?

The numbers on the lever will be the stitch length:

The stitch length adjustment adjusts the length of the stitches your sewing machine makes. The adjustment takes place at the feed dog not the machine needle.

Shortening the stitch length shortens the amount of fabric that is fed under the presser foot before the needle comes down.

Lengthening the stitch length lengthens the amount of fabric that is fed under the presser foot before the needle comes down.

That is very old school pooker. If I can be of further assistance please feel free to call me. What type of project are you doing?

[pooker]

Its a shirt basically and some sewing on shoes, I will show you in a sec with pics what I am talking about.

[Scarlett O'hara]

Pooker, do you do drapes????????????

[pooker]

Ok here ya go nana

Here is the shoes I am currently painting with fabric paint. I have to cut off the top and resew a just stretchy black fabric

http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k188/bigboi69_2006/espada.jpg

Here is an example of what they should look like

http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k188/bigboi69_2006/blharnsho02.jpg

Here is my grimmjow mask I made

http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k188/bigboi69_2006/mask.jpg

Goes on my face

Here is the best pic of luppi I can find, he was the previous 6th espada until Grimmjow killed him when he regained his arm. I want to do his shirt.

http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w123/renders-mehiel/Luppi.png

His sleeves when he has his hands side by side actually go down pretty far.

[Scarlett O'hara]

Pooker, I'm no master seamtress, but I'd proabaly make that shirt out of something like felt so you could just cut out those holes without having to do a lot of hemming...........

[pooker]

Yeah thats something else I was having problems with, I wasnt sure which material to use. Wal-mart had some white material for 1 dollar a yard but I was unsure of how well it would of sewn, it felt cheap. Its no big deal if I cannot get it done in time the biggest thing is finishing my grimmjow. I was just going to do luppi as well because at the photoshoot their is a few of them, and they are related. All I would of had to do was the shirt since the hakama, boots, etc are the sign.... well and the mask. :)

[pooker]

Pooker, do you do drapes????????????


pshhh its just something I always wanted to do. You would not believe how much professional cosplay designers charge to make this stuff. Like those shoes I am making are 100 dollars for the cheap pair! The mask is 75 dollars! I just want to make it myself to save money lol.

[Nana]

Whatever happened to BEGINNING WITH BASICS?

How many things have you done before? What are you using for a pattern to go by other than the picture? Just curious.

[pooker]

I have never done anything before nana LOL, nothing really except for the pics. I am using my grimmjow jacket for referece since alot of it is the same but besides that nothing. :( I am gonna practice with cheap fabric first.

[Nana]

I have to admire your spunk pooker. Usually people start with simple things. Again, if you need some help let me know.

[pooker]

You dont have to admire it Nana I most likely will not complete it LOL

[Fotno]

When is the next convention pooker?

[pooker]

August 29-september 1st, I am going as grimmjow. I hope I dont have a heatstroke, the last photoshoot they did people were standing outside for hours. Then that is it for the year :cries:

[Guru]

Dang, what a hot time of the year for just standing outside. Seems like if y'all spent the time in preparation for something like this they could at least have somewhere in A/C for you to wait your turn.

[pooker]

Its professional photography, its meant to portray the actual characters in a natural enviroment. Plus for those who also put work into the physical part of our costumes the lighting outside is very leniant. Its huge their is a ton of people, and outside shots just give a very nice picture. Also they are group shots, their is alot of picture taking inside, but outside gets really wonderful shots.

[Fotno]

Where will it be held?

[pooker]

I have to admire your spunk pooker. Usually people start with simple things. Again, if you need some help let me know.
Nana I have a shirt sewing question.

I found the reviews and understand how to sew it but at looking at my shirts I noticed one thing.


Their is no seam on the actual sides of the shirt like in the tutorials, the main shirt seems to be one piece on my clotching then the sleeves are sewed on. In the tutorial it says to use your shirt design and cut it into two pieces and sewing them along the side to form the base. At which the shirt gives off the sleevless appearance, but my shirts have no seams along the side like in the tutorial. I would like to do it without seams if possible but I am curious how I would fold the fabric as to only have seams along the top shoulder blade? Its almost as if all my shirts were cut out of a cylindrical shape?
Where will it be held?

Dallas and I think my grandparents are coming also so this is gonna be fun LOL

[pooker]

maybe this will help its kind of hard to explain.

Notice in this picture after I have cut out my design the tutorial says to sew it along the edging, I.E. where I marked it seam.

http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k188/bigboi69_2006/shirt.jpg



But on my shirts I have in my closet their is no seam along those sides, just at the top and the bottom for trimming. Its like the fabric was cut out of a cylndrical shape already marked. Is their a way to fold it where I would not have seams on the side?




I have a drawn out design from his detail here is how I will do,

I am going to make it two pieces their will be the white simple undershirt then the overlaying design that includes zipper etc. I was going to do it all out of one piece but I think this will be best. :)




double edit -


Question sewing, on hand sewing it says to pull both threads until they are parallel to each other on both sides, then it says with your first insert leave about two inches of the two threads hanging out, the repeaditly go over that so it does not pull threw. Then it says to do the same when you get to the end.

Umm , how would I do this with the singer, would I just repeadily make the needle go up and down over the same area? Then do I just finish it up to the end and cut and tie it or what?

[Nana]

pooker dear, I sent you a pm.

[BassCatter]

I can't post my creation, but sufice it to say, that Rollingthunder and Fotno will get copies of them when they come off the line.

[katzeyez]

You ain't right for teasin' the rest of us! LOL

[BassCatter]

I have two lure designs being tested and slated for production if they work the way I intend them to.

[katzeyez]

That's great! Best of luck to you!

[optimistik1]

Honey I am so impressed that you want to take up crochet, it's fun, don't you think? It does help with stopping smoking too...my sister was having a hard time trying to quit till she took it up! Can't wait to see a creation!

and POOK...WOW....that's awesome...and thanks Nana for helping him.

BC...post when you can!

I love this thread! *grin*

[Scarlett O'hara]

Well, Honey has more talents........she's been accessorizing shirts........

[optimistik1]

http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons6/24.gif

I think you mean her sister has been doing the accessorizing!

[Honey]

You know it is bad when you have to add to Sunday's chore list-check out back of shirt. But I bet he does from now on.

[Scarlett O'hara]

I'm still laughing!

[katzeyez]

That was a REALLY good laugh!

[Scarlett O'hara]

You know it'd be really funny to go get a whole box and do everyone of his shirts in the closet!!!!!!!!!

[Honey]

He would call the lawyer or I'd show up missing.

[Scarlett O'hara]

It would almost be worth it...............I'm come get you!

[Scarlett O'hara]

Or.......................next time you are on the way to the store, ask him if he needs any.............I know, I'm so bad........but I'd do it to mine in a heartbeat!

[Sugar]

Old school nana :D

http://www-personal.umich.edu/~sherlyn/Images/singer2.jpg


I was about to tell you if you have not gotten it by now to just bring it to my house (about 5 miles west of yours) and I would help ya but ummmm that looks beyond me.

Did you get it too care of? :shrug:

[optimistik1]

This is the cabin that my husband, son and I built from the ground up.

268

269

It's a 2 bedroom both with walk in closets
1 bath, utility, LR and kitchen. Both bedrooms are carpeted.
The rest of the house is in 12" wide pine wood floors stained
a dark walnut brown.

[anderlee]

MZ Mistik Where is it at?

[optimistik1]

It's in Perry County anderlee, where Old River Road out of Petal meets Hwy 29 that goes from New Augusta to Runnelstown. It's within a mile of Tallahala and 2 miles of Leaf River.

[Nana]

Nice job opt.

[Scarlett O'hara]

Beautiful!

[Nana]

Why have some of these pictures disappeared leaving a red x?

[Scarlett O'hara]

It's aliens!!!

[pooker]

Dang you built that? Great work, I have a question though. I know you built it on this stilt thingies so it doesn't flood. What about the cars though? Wouldn't they flood? Do you park them somewhere further and hike?

[Hermione]

Those floors!!
What a neat little place --y'all did good!

[optimistik1]

Pook, those stilts were so we could try and avoid the high costs of insurance, because believe it or not, even though the land where we built the cabin has NEVER FLOODED at least in the last 100 years they have a record for it, it is considered in a flood zone. And I do know that people who live closer to the river in camps up on stilts, they do indeed move their vehicles and boat in when it's really bad. I've never seen it that bad in my area near Leaf and Tallahala, but I have heard it does get up especially in January. Thanks ya'll, it's the second one I've helped build from the ground up. The first was our 4 bedroom in Pearl River county where we raised the children.

[Honey]

Here it is...granted not finished but on the way.

Well, I forget how to post the picture.

[optimistik1]

I'm looking...
where is it...http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/tayryn/smileys/searching.gif

did you remember to try the attachment in the "go advanced" post?

[Honey]

I can't do it. I click on attachments and browse, find it, open file and try to upload and the page goes to unable to find page.:cry:

[optimistik1]

I couldn't do my shirt on here either using the attachment thingy...I wish I knew what to tell you Honey...but don't fret...you'll get it sooner or later...

[katzeyez]

You can create an account on a photo hosting site. Photobucket, shutterfly, snap fish, etc., and then post the image with the img tags. I recommend Photobucket, to me it's the most user friendly. Very easy to use.

[katzeyez]

Posting these for Honey. ;)

[Honey]

There it is. Thank you Katz.

[katzeyez]

You're welcome. Opt, if you want to email me the pic of the t-shirts, I'll gladly post it for you.

[optimistik1]

you're sweet Katz...and I just might do that...I have a photobucket acct, I just haven't taken the time to upload it..

((((Honey)))) It's gorgeous! I LOVE the color scheme...I am GREEN with envy...haven't crocheted in Soooooo long. I am sooo proud of you!

((((Katz)))) you are a dear...and I thank you...if I can't get it to post....I'll send it to you!

[Honey]

I did mess up on something and Nana, of course, caught it but she told me what to do to fix it. Next color is the navy blue again.

[optimistik1]

http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm70/pattib57/MFshirt.jpg

Keep in mind this is just a basic idea for a shirt...I really like the color though...or maybe in a tan?

[optimistik1]

How did you pick your colors Honey??? does it go with a scheme in your bedroom/living room? who is it for????

[Flowergirl]

Honey, I love it- I wish I could do that- all that counting stitches and all! I get distracted and have a big mess!

[Honey]

I just thought they were pretty colors. My bedroom is sage green though.

[katzeyez]

I really like the shirt idea, especially the green color!

[Honey]

Honey, I love it- I wish I could do that- all that counting stitches and all! I get distracted and have a big mess!

Well, I did mess up on the counting on the first row. That is why it is taller than me.

[Flowergirl]

lololol...The ONLY one I ever attempted to make was taller than me-on one end. There was about two feet difference from side to side. It was uuuuggggllly.

[optimistik1]

http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm70/pattib57/afgan.jpg

This was my very first afgan (jun 2002)...I was having to teach myself, cause I didn't have a Nana...wish I did!!!

My sisters and I had the primary colors when we were growing up since we were so close in age. Mine was blue...so the primary colors have always meant a lot to me!

[Scarlett O'hara]

Very pretty, Honey...I'm so proud of you!

Opt, I like the shirt........does the figure come with it or do I have to pay extra?

[optimistik1]

That's my shirt Scarlett, I colored it myself, and made it just to fit my body...

and those of you who have actually met me in person better not say any different!

Glad you like it, it's just MY idea of what a shirt from MSForums should look like...
I just can't make myself use just the initials....*embarrased*

[pooker]

Oh wow 10 stars for the lou ann's sew shop in collins. She refitted a messed up costume for me and made it fit like a dream, everything is perfect you can truly tell this costume was custom made FOR ME.

I highly reccomend anyone that needs anything sewn to go to her. She is on mainstreet in collins, on the right hand side if your coming in from laurel and on the left hand side going to laurel.

She did everything I wanted,

I was initially really afraid, because this event is in just two days and with homework, working on crafts etc I was freaking because she is an older lady. Nothing against that but I know how weird I must of looked explaining this to her, she did everything I wanted to make this costume an EXACT REPLICA.

I am so excited and love everything she did.

I will update complete pics later just for reference so you can see how perfect it is.

I cannot imagine how much talent she had, this outfit literally has to be perfect to wear and match everything. Love it and I am proud to wear it. :)

I have seen people pay 500 dollars for costumes that nowhere compared to this, she is definately top notch and would use again.

Man this is such a huge stress reliever, I had to take off a day of school and remake quizes and tests, I was swamped and was so afraid this was going to fail but it didnt.

Wig is already restyled so even that looks better , I was extremely picky with how and what I wanted and she delivered.

Do redo my costume she only charged me 36 bucks! Come on thats a steal for this. Everyone knows part of being a good cosplayer is accuracy and that is what I wanted and that is what she delivered,

[pooker]

also that was an incorrect translation in the manga, it wasn't supposed to say "sexy espada" it was supposed to say "sexta espada" , a spanish feel was given to this series when they introduced the arrancar.

The 6th number represents Grimmjow's strength in his army ranging from 1-10 of the top ten most powerful espada.

This was how I wanted the costume, because as the manga and anime both progressed grimmjows actual mask changed which I made it to resemble the most current, and his outfit changed which is how I wanted it.

Also remember mirror = reverse, so no the mask is not on the wrong side its the mirror pic.

[Scarlett O'hara]

Oh, my......you aren't going to have a hole in your stomach, are you?

[pooker]

I am either going to do a mirror there or black paint, depends on how slim of a mirror I can find and if I like how it turns out.

But in short yes, :) not a real hole but a fake hole.

[Scarlett O'hara]

cool!

[optimistik1]

WOW....jaw dropping WOW...so who's going to spike the hair?

and where's the sword/ninja thingy....are we going to see the whole ensemble?

[pooker]

I will , problem is. The person I bought the wig from said they were sick and I bought it three weeks ago and just got it. I had a stylist my grandma knew cut it because it was just matted down in that pic.

The problem is, generally wigs that CAN spike are classified as "punky" this was a flat lay wig, so it has a bad problem about falling down. I will spray it the day I wear it, it is styled now just waiting. If I sprayed it now the hairs are bad about sprigging and giving it a bed head look rather than an actual "spikey" look.

The sword is done, I just have to figure out how I will do the handle I am glad with how it came out.

I will post a finished pic, I didnt do it in that one because I use spirit gum to hold the mask to my face which is a skin adhesive, the only problem is, well it stays on there good. Its a pain to get off and irritates my skin really badly.

You may can get some really fine craft wire (comes on a spool, probably find it at Michael's or Hobby Lobby) and put it through the back of the wig to help the hair stand up. Just an idea.......
