Caribbean Sea Skirt

Ironing Board Cover

Here's a picture of mine. I did a complete over haul of mine. Its a really old ironing board. I painted the legs and underneath. I replaced the padding and cover. It was really bad. It was those silver ones and it had holes and stains from interfacing,etc. links to make your own http://www.purlbee.com/ironing-board-recovery-project/2006/11/20/how-to-make-an-ironing-board-cover.htm l http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2008/02/how_to_recover_an_ironing_boar.html http://vainandvapid.blogspot.com/2007/10/design-studio-details-ironing-board.html http://www.instructables.com/id/Fabulous-Ironing-Board-Cover/

Machine covers 2

Well I made one. I have a previous blog about them and it has links on how to make them.

Well polymer clay ones. I've been playing around with it. I know these look like crap but at least they can be worn on my upper arm. I've been looking ways to make some out of clay or metal. Still playing around with it but I thought it be fun to show. A lot dancers like me can't find arm bracelets big enough. Even though you sometimes can use ankle bracelets -even those are hard to find or to wide.

Pin Cushions

Here's a picture of my flower pin cushion. Links to make them http://roundgecko.blogspot.com/2006/03/pin-cushion.html http://thedomesticdiva.wordpress.com/2007/11/02/stick-a-pin-in-itsewing-pincushions/ http://creativeorigins.blogspot.com/2008/05/flower-pin-cushion-revisited.html http://www.craftlog.org/craftlog/archives/002085.html I made one after ripping up my tomato one. It was old and this last time , the needles that were push in finally cut me enough times to say enough. After I ripped up the tomato I found 24 hand sewing needles including two curved needles. I also found 4 sewing machine needles. So my flower pin cushion is for only hand needles. My next one is for pinning needles.
