Black Goth Mask

Another commission!  Also for an upcoming vampire ball, this one I was requested to make black, gothic and have skulls. 

I added a selection of jet beads, sequins, seed beads and skull beads all in black, but my favourite addition is the black feathers!  I think they add height and drama and I love them!

Stained Yellow Mask

I loved making this!  It was a commission for a vampire game.  The character stains everything he touches, so I stained the mask and used darker beads to make it look like the stain touched them too.

It has seed beads, little skull beads and fake gems all hand stitched.

Dino Tail

A small has had a birthday and what they really, really wanted was a dino tail so I obliged!

Excuse the poor photos, due to the hurry I made this in I did not have a lot of time to do anything beyond a hurried quick snap!

It's made of green fleece with grey fleece to be the spikes!

Red Patchwork Bag

I made a new bag for a client in their requested red and black colour scheme.

It's made from my scrap bag collection so excellent for recycling purposes and it's lined in black lining fabric. 

Isn't it pretty?

New Bag for Valentina

I needed a new bag to store Valentina's in character embroidery, so I ran this up!

I used the embroidery machine to do the motif (yes I could do it by hand, but I was very short on time!).  The button is a vintage one from a friend's grandmother's collection.  I bound it with a scrap of satin bias tape and it's lined in the same cotton as the outside.

Faux Enamel Headband

I made white faux enamel flowers and designed a headband of my own!

Isn't it pretty?  I love how delicate it is!  It's a wire headband shape, which I formed by bending wire on my head and then wrapping it in ribbon.  The ends are loops and a ribbon threads through them and ties underneath my hair.

This is it on my hair - I tied it on at 10am and it was still in place at 2am the next day!

This photo is by the insanely talented Jonathan Habens and you can see how it sparkles in my hair!

 Another Jon Habens pic, just because! 

Gift Purse

The last of my online swap gifts - I made a teeny rainbow dragon purse, beacuse, well, why not?

It's blue satin and lined in white cotton lawn with a nazy zipper!

Lizard was super impressed that it matched her new 'rainbow dollshouse blanket' (an offcut from another project I'll show you another time!).

Gift Pouch

Another gift from ym online swap! 

It's a machine embroidery I got from etsy and I added the name myself.

The outer is black cotton drill and the inner is red lining fabric.  The zipper is black and I'm really pleased with it!

Faux Enamel

It's amazing what you can do with nail polish and a twist of wire, isn't it?

These little flowers take a while to make, but they are so very pretty when they are done, don't you think?

Oh the possibilities!

New Pouch

A lot of my Luthaisea's Kit fittings take place out and about, so I decided to make myself a bag to hold my bits and pieces so I have things to hand!

It has a gold faux silk lining and the embroidery is an old practise piece I made ages ago.  It's great to put it to use!

I used a red zip and practised adding neat ends of fabric to the zip stops.  It makes a lovely neat finish!

I have plans to make a little covered notebook to go inside and it already has a pencil, tapemeasure and packet of pins in it, already to go!

Dr Who Bag

I made this for an online gift swap!  I do love a bit of bag making!

It's made of cottong drill and is unlined.  The embroidery is a free pattern I found online and done by hand.

 It took a while, but I really enjoyed making it!

Unicorn Hood

I made this for a friend's birthday - as you can see, she was quite pleased with it!

It's Choly Knight's free unicorn hood pattern and I made it in pink fleece with a white t-shirting lining, white buttons and purple and yellow flowers to decorate.

I really like how it turned out and one of my rainy day ideas is to adapt it and make myself a deer hood!

Masks

I've been making a lot of masks recently!  How much fun are these?

The pattern is from Urban Threads and I'm really, really enjoying it!  I'm also loving decorating them with beads and ribbons when I'm done maching sewing!

I have so many plans for so many masks!  Expect to see more over the coming months!

A New Folder

I need a folder to keep all of my paperwork in order.  So I painted one and comissioned Katy to make me some decals for it!

I love how my painting turned out!  I was so worried it looked silly and then I put the outline on and now I adore it! 

And check out my adorable new file dividers!  I cannot wait to get organised!

Scrap Bunting!

Yes I made tiny bunting for Mr Kit.  Is anyone really surprised?!

I had some purple bias binding so I used that to string it onto.

 I didn't fussy cut the skulls, due to wanting to use as much of the fabric as I could!

I really like how it turned out and I can't wait to see it at the allotment!

A Late Valentine's

I bought Mr Kit some fabric on a whim for Valentine's and last week I finally made good on my promise to make him a cushion!

It's a plain cover with an envelope back, nothing exciting.  That said it looks good next to a similar cushion I bought him for Christmas and my sofa is definitely developing a new theme!

I'm trying to be better about using up scraps so next week you can see what else I made!
