Rachel D asked:


I was thinking I could find some cheap fabric (not necessarily denim, I was thinking bright colors and fun patterns) and cut by the seam in the leg about up to the knee on the outside, then cut the fabric I find into a triangle and sew it on. Would that work okay?
Also, I am an amateur…sewer…so any tips are appreciated.

A little back story to my question.
In my senior year in high school when I was getting ready to take my senior portraits, I got bored and decided to make my cat a Graduation cap and tie….it came out perfect and was actually fun to me because I am a silly natured person and I love to sew.
So, I thought about opening an online store to sell pet outfits. Some to match every occasion and some that are just outfits for every day. I know there are a lot of pet lovers out there who buy pet clothes and such, or people like me who think it’s cute to do silly things like that on occasion.
So, do you think that would be a good idea for an online business?
Would it interest you if you ran accross it?

The bride and groom attended rival colleges and they are big fans of their own school. As a fun gift, i was going to buy two fleece blankets with the logo on it (one from each of their respective schools ) and sew it together back to back. Of course this is not their actual wedding gift. Yea i should do it or Nay it’s lame? thanks for the inputs.

I would think i would enjoy both. scrapbooking i have a 20 m/o girl who ihave tons of pic online and dont know what to do with them. and with pottery ever since ihave been watching crafters coast to coast it looks fun and interesting. I have limited experience in cross stitch and good knowledge in sewing. so i dont know which would be better for me with the experience i have. if u have any other suggestions i would greatly appreciate it as well.

Also i tend to start things and not finish if they are too overwhelming. I am bipolar and my moods shift. so whatever it will be needs to keep my interest.

I love youthful, modern, but also vintage fabrics to sew into clothing and accessories. I know and love:

reprodepot.com

moodfabrics.com

the fabric fairy

sewmamasew.com

…But I’m having trouble finding anything else. They need to be cheep ($1-15 /yd) because I’m broke as well as a wannabe fashion designer. Any knowledge you guys have on the subject of online fabric stores would be greatly appreciated.

I was just wondering, anyone else out there having as much fun working in their nursery as I am?
What are your big plans? a mural? a theme? Any body got anything totally unique going for them?

I’m 26 weeks with a boy and I’ve always been pretty crafty so as soon as I found out I was pregnant I was heading for the hobby store to pick-up supplies, lol.
We’re doing a red-shirt Winnie -the- Pooh theme with green and blue as our main color scheme. We can’t paint the walls since we live in an apartment (my husband is military and doesn’t want to buy a house until after he gets out since we’ll never be on any one base for more than a few short years), so instead of a mural I painted large canvas pictures that we can take with us when we move. I’ve made interactive wall hangings to put near the floor so baby can play with them. The rug I made was more like one of those tummy-time-mats you can buy at the store, but about twice the size of a store bought mat (for less cost). I’ve sewn soft-blocks that jingle, started working on a teddy-bear…I’m even making picture books and stacking blocks for when baby gets older. I’m really trying to think ahead, got stuff to entertain him from day one when we first bring him home from the hospital all the way up until he’s about 18 months old. I really want the nursery to just be his own space that stimulates him so he can explore and learn and just play and have fun, ya know?
…besides its so much fun for me to make, I should hope baby has fun playing with all of it!
[by the way, got most of my ideas online by googling "home-made baby toys" so I can't take credit for all of it- lol]

I’m interested in hearing if anyone else out there is having as much fun as I am???
What are your big plans?

Halloween is kinda a big thing around here, everyone likes to decorate and get dressed up. It’s just a fun time and I was thinking about what I was going to be and I had the idea of Alice in Wonderland. I always make my own costumes but never really sew anything. I can sew small things but nothing more. How would you go about this? I’m not sure that I would have a blue skirt but I do have a light denim one . . . any and all help is appreciated!
