Thread: Last night's customising project...

Take one eBay bought Kylie Minogue t-shirt...



Attack it with:
- scissors
- needle and thread
- ribbon
- a selection of swarovski crystals
- a hot-fix applicator
- 2 hours of spare time

...and taadaaa!!



Has any one else completed any fun customising projects recently?

I found gloves so fiddly to sew and fit that I worked out how to crocet them so they look like fishnet, they stretch so fit better.

This evening I'm making another felt top hat after I taught myself how to block felt. Only prob is I keep making things and have nothing to do with them. I'd like there to be some sort of burlesque craft market.

Love the t-shirt looks much better then the original

I have an ebay shop where i sell them....business is slow though, damn credit crunch!!!

I also made this fascinator for the Torture Gardens Birthday Ball in london, i couldnt afford to buy one after tickets/travel/hostel but i think it turned out ok!

It's taken me slightly longer than a night, but been lot's of fun.

-One battered, slightly stained handbag but made from wannabe Alexander Henry type material from a Relate charity shop - £2
-One pot of red sequins - £2.45
-One shiny red and black rockabilly-type handbag to be worn on TD's arm at the Candy Box on Sunday - priceless

I feel so ashamed.

I've been knitting a pair of socks for nearly 11 months....and I've not even finished the first one yet.

I hereby resolve to finish my knitting so that I can get on with making darling little bags like Tempest and creating fantastic customised outfits like the rest of you.

That bag is really super - you'll look a million dollars! Mind and take pix so that we can see the full effect :-)
