Rabbit Scarfs

hi! it's getting a little warmer here (but not by much) so i risked the no jacket :O

shirt (Forever21), jeans (Macy's), shoes (Nike), and scarf (handmade)

In the end, it actually wasn't that cold, but either way, my supah fluffy scarf would kave kept me warm (kinda) :)

SUPER fluffy scarf :)

I made it by taking a long strip of fluffy cloth (about 5 to 6 feet, by about 1 foot), then first sewing the long sides into a tube, then turning it inside out and sewing the two ends together. The nice thing about fluffy cloth is the stitching really doesn't matter, since in the end, it's mostly covered up anyway :)

thanks for reading, have a nice day!

RED Cardi

ALRIGHTIE, so last friday, i had a meeting a lunch with this super nice lady from FIDM, because i wanted to find some more info on the details on going into a design major and whatnot.

and for the occasion, i really wanted to wear at least one decent article of clothing that i'd made myself, so that morning, i woke up at 3:30 (not a sane hour, i know) and got started on an oversized red fleece cardigan.

By. Hand. (i can't blame this on insane hours, that's just me being crazy)

anyways this is how my morning began: First, i cut out the base and the sleeves:

 

 then the holes for the sleeves:

Then matched them up together and sewed it all up:

THEN I DID HEMMED. andhemmedandhemmedandhemmed.

until my fingers were all full of holes and the edges were no longer dripping bits of fluff, since this fabric shed LIKE CRAZY.

But that's a small price to pay since it's really soft and turned out really warm as well.

(i had people feeling up my sleeves all day <3)

in the end, this is how i wore it to school

 Striped shirt (again)(Tilly's), Jeans (Charlotte Russe) necklace (garage sale), shoes (Nike) and cardi/sweater (handmade, dur)

the first thing the FIDM lady said when she saw me was that she really loved the color <3

i'm thinking that's a good thing

(and she said it was really soft too)

The jeans when i bought them, were actually super huge and on clearance for $8, so i bought them and altered them to my-size skinnies :)

Obviously, i can't make something new and NOT try it on with every other piece of clothing that i own now can I?

Since i really dressed it down during the day i figured, i'd try to dress it up a bit :)

Black dress (handmade), stripey tights (Forever21), boots (Fanime Con, Dealer's Hall), and cardi/sweater (again, handmade)

 i don't always dress this monochromey, usually it's more like willy-wonka colors, (or more accuracy, like Harper from Wizards of Wavery Place, if anyone's found themselves on a couch watching with a sibling, like i aways find myself doing)

(ALWAYS)

(i've watched more Phineas and Ferb than any over-achieving junior should have the time to)

ANYWAYS, thanks for reading! have a good one!

Black weather and Black skirts

RAINY! rainy! rainy! rainy!

personally, i like all weather, but RAIN IS COLD.

so i decided to wear this to not keep me warmer:

striped shirt (Tilly's), a black jacket (Macy's), leggings and socks (Forever21), boots (Payless), and skirt (handmade)

just kidding :) i actually really layered this outfit on, so it was surprisingly warm for something with a skirt involved.
heh, as much as i think it would be awesome to be one, i'm not a brand shopper.

aka, i'm cheap (and proud)

maybe when i'm older, i'll be more interested in it all, but for now, NAH.

PS: though the sky looks bright in the picture, it was actually raining when i took it (TT^TT)

Pineapple Pencil Pouch

hey out there!

so, a few months ago, my friend asked me if i could make her a new pencil pouch since the one she had then was a flat metal boxy one, that she found really really annoying.

i kinda liked her boxy one because her rubber eraser can conveniently stick to the outside, but whatever, i'm not one to turn down an opportunity to make something new :)

so this friend, she's also kinda pregnant, but she hates being reminded of it because according to us, her baby is an invisible pineapple baby named anna.

it's been quite a few months since she's found out, but she's still in complete denial.

SO, i conveniently, made her pencil case in the shape of a pineapple.

Ta-Da!

BTW, her name is wee-teng. that's why it's written in the bottom :)

(aka, it's not just random chinese)

i'm giving to her tomorrow, i hope she like it (and doesn't beat me to deat with it, gah)

wish me luck (if i never blog again, we'll know who to blame)

Anyways, thanks for reading, and have a great day! :)

Oh! and, i'm still hunting for some cool blogs to follow, if someone's got a recommendation, please comment away!

Calculator

So a while ago i made a calculator plushie!

as you can see, it was really, REALLY simple to make... 

i was thinking, if i had time, to make a bigger momma-type plushie for this one and have a whole family! then maybe a papa one too...

anyway, it was really fun to make <3

if anyone wants to buy it, it's going for $4.00 (plus shipping).

tell me if you're interested!

Keane- Somewhere Only We Know

EVERYONE. CLICK THE PLAY BUTT-ON BELOW.

DO IT.

PLEASE.

all right, admit it. it was cute.
plus the drummer was amazingbeautifulSEXGOD pretty hot, who's with me?

SO, the story:
a while ago i heard this song on the radio and absolutly loved it, so i looked it up on youtube and loved it even more and for a while, i was totally obsessed with it and listened to it all the time, day and night, you know how it goes :)

i was so obsessed i even made a plushie for it.

that's right.

it's a plushie. and probably the only one in the world too.

the body and detail were both relatively easy, but the CROWN-THING.

OHGOODLORD that was so time-consuming. i was able to stitch on the inside-side of it until about halfway, before i had to turn it inside out and ladder stitch the whole rest of it.

If there are any die-hard keane fans are out there, it's for sale :)
for this one, any potential buyers can just name their price~

BTW, all done by hand TT^TT

close-up :)

ANYWAYS~

thanks for reading! i hope you liked!

BYE!!

play time

or more specifically, musical time.

though more schools should definitely have playtime.
and naptime too.
and recess.
but that's another story.

ANYWAYS~

every spring, our school has a musical and this year i'm helping out!
i'm superduperincrediblywaytoomuchandinatotallygeekyway excited to be part of the crew <3

 

this year, we're doing grease, which i think is weird play, but, yaay, 50's!
i mean, sandy changes her whole thing because the guy she likes wants he to put out.
i mean, COME ON...

there's probably some deep, psycological reason behind it.
there's gotta be.
but i'm not gonna look for it.

BESIDES, even though it's my first year helping, the costume manager positon was open, so i asked our drama teacher if i could do it, and she said YES <3
ALREADY PART OF THE TITLED ELITE.
OYES.

i reallyreally excited about it and so far we've bee doing tons of fun things like taking down the back wall of the stage and re-paining the side stage black. SO. MUCH. FUN.

AND WE MAY EVEN GET TO MAKE A CAR.

i think we all know this by now, but I'M SO EXCITED.

 got this baby on my way home :)

i really like the sky here <3

Plushie Post- Smarmy Carrot

HI!!~
YAAY for VEGGIES!

Ladies and Gentlemen, what we have here is a smarmy carrot.

I made him all the way last summer too, a little while after i made unicorn.

he was really easy to make as well, most of him was made by machine, but the black circles were done by hand.

i'm a vegan, but i still don't eat as many veggies as i should...
but it's ok, it's good for the veggies.

ANYWAYS, thanks for reading, i hope you had fun!~

Plushie Post- Unicorn

WAAAAAAAY long ago when the dinosaurs roamed the earth (last summer) i made my first plushie. i wasn't sure what to make, so i took a suggestion from a friend.

HULA.

UNICORN.

HELL YES.

yes i know the stitching is terrible and my room is also terrible, but that's not the point.

other stuff: - both his arms are sewn in different directions (see the picture...)
                   - he has a mane on the back of his head
                   - in his horn is a badly twisted paper clip
                   - i didn't hand sew a single stitch (and that's probably a bad thing)
                   - he's stuffed with bits of fleece instead of poly-fil... canibalism??
                   - would he be a hulacorn? hmmmn...
                   - initially, he was about an inch taller, but that that made him too skinny, so i chopped an inch off of where the skirt was going to be, so now he looks sufficiently chubbier :)

and plus, what do you guys think, should i post things i think are fails or should i stick to things i'm proud of? i'm leaning towards not posting fails, because it would just create clutter, but i'm not sure. if anyone sees this and has an idea, comment please!

thanks for reading!

Plushie Post- Vulpix

posting again already?!

yeah, i know, but it looked really empty, so i figured there wasn't really any point in waiting.

i know i'm starting off on pokemon, but that's not all i make   ^__^"

So what we have here is a vulpix plushie! it was made as a trade with someone on deviantart.

litterally, EVERYTHING, except the tail was handsewn. it took FOREEEEEVA.

i think half the battle and half the fun is in patterning, so i make my own hit and miss patterns, so usually i end up sewing something, but it doesn't work, so i have to go back and fix it, but then it might mess something else up, so i have to fix that, and so forth.

some may say to just use a pattern,

but some aren't as masochistic as i am.

i though in the end this turned out pretty well, considering at first the tummy was about an inch too wide and the legs were pointed too outward for it to even stand. but in the end most of it all worked itself out.

and it's deviantart page
