This one is using the shibori technique.
Made this one for my 16 year old son. He didn't like it. I loved it, so I wore it to work, then he decided he liked it...hahaha :)
The alien turned out pretty good except one eye is darker than the other.
I was planning on getting some bleached muslin and going to town dying fabric, but Amy needed the bottles back to re-do some that didn't turn out. But.. she said she would hook me up when she is done! :D
Last minute Mother's Day Projects :P
Here is a quick fun project I did for my Mom and Mother-in-law for Mother's Day. These cute little box pleat bags. I found lots of tutorials online and whipped these up in about 2hrs a piece. I stippled one and quilted lines on the other. I used my zipper foot for the lines because I liked using the foot as a guide for the lines. I realized very quickly, that this could be potentially dangerous. My machine produces 1600 stitched per minute. Very fast. I had a close call. My finger got very close to the needle. So I just widened my grip and zipped through those lines in nothing flat :) These bags were fun to make. I highly recommend;)
Those bags look great. Love the fresh colours.
ReplyDeleteGreat projects. I love the bags. BTW, I think it is perfectly appropriate for an alien to have one eye darker than the other. What could be spookier?
ReplyDeleteYour school sounds wonderful - having each child make a shirt is fantastic! I love your bags too - bet the moms loved them! ~Jeanne
