<whispers> Hey, Crow...want a coat? What do you have in exchange?
A friend of mine fashioned a bikini swimsuit and hair scrunchie for her little niece. I thought that was very creative.tinlizzie, no, yoyos are made with small circles of fabric. basically it is gathering the circle and pulling in gathers. forms a little rosette . goggle how to make and it shows pictures as well as method . they are used for decorations on fabric, on purses, quilts, decorative pillows, etc. used to be very very popular.
Oh My! My bird Spike wants one!!
This is why I love my Husqvarna. All I have to do is select the fabric type, stitch type and it adjusts the tension automatically, tells me which needle and which foot to use. And, it beeps when the bobbin thread is almost empty so I never run out of bobbin thread when sewing. I love that machine...just wish I spent more time sewing. It's like having a KA stand mixer with all the attachments in the sewing room.Ahem... Back on topic, I finally finished shortening the last pair of pants. I think I've figured out my tension. All the pants were either thin dress pants, or heavy corduroy. The change in thickness was drastic, so now I know to loosen for thin fabrics and tighten for thick. I know it sounds backwards, but that's what worked.
I'm going to work on my blouse tomorrow, and tell my friend not to be getting me more work. I really don't want to do it, I don't need the stress or pressure either.
This year I made up large gift bags of hand made soaps, Bars, liquids, and my own specially blended wax for container candles. Added soap dispensers and a few beautifully hand crafted ceramic soap dishes. They were some gorgeous looking bags. Wish now I had taken pictures of them. People had been asking when I'm getting back to work they missed my stuff. I work when it suits me now. So when they finally do get them. It's a Dog eat dog world out there. Sheesh...It's bordering criminal.
Yesterday I got a phone call from one of the recipients.
He was absolutely upset that someone had grabbed his bag of goods! It was an honest mistake that's going to be corrected. The person who did it is sorry. He made them sorry! LOL!
I did fix another bag up for him and had it sent over.
Boy people wait forever to get the handmade stuff, when it disappears they certainly do get testy about it.
Munky.
I am a weaver. I have used that type of "tool" in all different sizes. It is very easy to use. It is also easy to make--you just cut a circle of wood, tap in finishing nails, and you've got it.
There is a Japanese technique for making cords that uses a similar tool. I took a workshop on it once, but darned if I can remember what the "art" is called. I seem to recall making potholders using a square version of this when I was in Campfire girls...
