steampunk fashion - "victorian" skirt how to I thought that all you that sew would perhaps appreciate my skirt tutorial :) So I thought that I would share my how to for this quite easy sewn skirt in taffeta that I made for a friend of mine, it is a two layer skirt with strings so that you can tie up and drape the panels as you wish. This is a bit simplified, On the original skirt the top of the skirt was lined with satin so it was not completed in the exact same way as in this tutorial, but trying to explain that whole deal was to time consuming to be worth it. Material you will need:Fabric: Of your choice, around 2 times the length of your skirtA zipper: I use a hidden zipper because I think it looks better, but a ordinary one is just as good.String: The length of your drapes and a little more *2*6 (you chose one can both have it the whole way up on the skirt or just half, or something similar) I use cotton string 0,5 cm (0,2 inches) thick. We are staring with the overskirt, the first thing we do is to attach the zipper.

House of Smiths: Pink Pleated Pillow Tutorial Okay... so you know how you have an idea, but you're not really quite sure how you're going to execute it... well... THIS was one of those kids of projects. lol. I had this extra material left, from making my shower curtain extension... and wanted to make a pillow, but the form I had was square... and I just had this long piece of pink fabric left... I had seen a pleated pillow in one of my favorite fabric stores a while back, and then also remembered seeing a really cute one on V and Co. too... She actually sells her patterns! So I was off to try my hand at one :) I cut my long piece of fabric into three sections. like so. About the size of my pillow form, plus half. Then free handed a ruffle on either side of the large piece of fabric It looked like this after I was done. Kinda billowy and full Then I kinda pleated/folded the fabric to fit onto another square piece of fabric, the size of my pillow I sewed up one side of the pleat onto the pillow sized piece... like so. There you go!
Guide: Beginner’s Armour Making (1 of 2) » Coscraft Blog Who needs the ability to move when you can look like a boss? This is a guide, hopefully with enough information to get you started. It’s not a tutorial, there won’t be step-by-step instructions. What I’m writing about is just one of the many ways of making con-safe armour. This is an introductory guide to making con-safe armour. I’m writing this because after holding a panel at a con I got a lot of requests asking for the presentation file. This guide is divided into 6 parts: Materials & Equipment Construction Fastening Finishing Where to buy stuff Tips Without any further ado, let’s begin… For those who like science, this is what EVA is . EVA foam is cheap, lightweight, easy to find and easy to use. You can buy it from craft stores, Coscraft , eBay and sometimes at DIY stores too. It looks a lot like EVA foam but feels very different. It usually comes in white but other colours do exist. It’s often used as protective padding in contact sports, as well as packaging because it’s very lightweight.
Freshly Picked: Elastic Waist Skirt Tutorial - Mama Edition with pockets! This tutorial is very similar to the lil' mama elastic waist skirt tutorial, with a few changes. If you want you can mash-up the two tutorials and come up with your own version, which I would love. I would suggest that you play with the two tutorials a little and take away from both of them what will work for you. Materials needed: 2-3 yards of fabric elastic, I used the 2 inch wide variety coordinating fabric for the pockets straight pins Now take your measurements, you will want to measure: your natural waist from your waist to your knee or mid thigh, however long you want your skirt For my skirt I cut my elastic 29 inches. Start with your two pieces of fabric. Pin your pockets on the 4 edges of the skirt, 3 inches from the top. Using a 1/4 inch seam, stitch your 4 pockets to the skirt pieces Press your pocket pieces back. Put right sides of skirt pieces together. Turn your skirt and press your side seams flat. See your pocket in there peeking out? Now finish your hem. Next →
Travail du tapis de sol & autres mousses Gravure au fer à souder ou au pyrograveur Ces outils permettent de graver le tapis. Il faut faire attention car un fer chaud passe dans le tapis sans aucunes résistances. Gravure au cutter ou au scalpel L’avantage de la gravure au cutter tient surtout dans les lignes droites, car on peut, à l’aide d’une règle, obtenir une belle uniformité dans le tracé. Il ne reste plus qu’à retirer la rainure. On peut aller plus loin avec le cutter et faire tout type de forme selon cette méthode d'extraction : Décoration à la colle chaude La colle chaude permet de faire des reliefs assez sympathique, pour un prix modique, cependant il faut un certain doigté et pas mal de sang-froid ! On peut également faire des effets de "veines" ou des effets "destroy" : La méthode consiste à tout d’abord tracé au feutre le dessin à reproduire Puis utiliser un pistolet à colle chaude (avec des tiges de 7 ou 11 millimètres de diamètre selon le détail souhaité) pour repasser sur les motifs dessiné.

Petal Pillow Tutorial Today we’re going to make a Petal Pillow. Its very easy, cost me under ten bucks, and took about half an hour to make. Plus it will add lots of summer color (is it summer yet?) to your house. First you’ll need: -a little over a 1/2 yard of fabric….19 inches to be exact. - 1/4 yard felt. - a large and small cup (or other circles) for tracing, a large bowl for tracing, a pen, scissors, and cardstock to make your template. Trace the rims of your cups onto your cardstock and cut out. Pin the templates to your felt and cut out circles. Cut out roughly 30 large circles, and 20 small circles. Now cut your circles in half. Now your going to cut your fabric into three pieces. 1 large square 19 inches x 19 in. , 1 rectangle 19 in. x 15 in. , and 1 rectangle 19 in. x 12 in. On the right side of the 19 in. by 19 in. square, trace a bowl or large plate marking a large circle in the middle. Line up the edge of a large petal along the line you just traced. Sew around the edges with a 1/2" inch inseam.
[TUTO] Theorie sur l'éclairage Ce tutoriel vient du site Art movie fan et a été fait par LemandarinJe le retranscris ici, avec son autorisation, suite à la question de Akasuna dans son topic Flamme sur tonfas1. Les types de sources de lumière1.1 Les LEDLes LED sont des petits éléments d'électroniques. Elles sont aussi appelées Diode électro-luminescente (DEL).Avantages:+Très faible consommation électrique (la source de lumière la moins gourmande). Comme vous le voyez sur cette photo, le + (positif) est toujours représenté sur la LED par la tige la plus longue.Les LED rondes offrent un angle d'éclairage faible (environ 20°). Il faut en tenir compte lors de leurs installations dans une maquette. Cette forme de LED offre une luminosité très différente! Elles sont parfois également appelées LED Miniature.Elles mesurent 1,8mm de diamètre :9: La LED CMS:Une LED CMS c'est ceci: Il s'agit des même LED que celles utilisées dans les radio-réveilles.Il est très facile de composer un chiffre avec ce type de LED.

Living on the Chic: DIY Pin Tucked Duvet Cover A New Year brings new things. For me, it was a duvet cover. I made an impulse buy of a beautiful Paisley Duvet Cover at TJ Maxx just the other day. I brought home my treasure, dropped everything and put it on my comforter. After admiring my bed for about a day, I slowly started to realize that I had purchased something that I had not budgeted for, spent too much money on($40 is a LOT of money to me), and, of all things, that I could easily make myself. So, sadly, I returned my beautiful Paisley duvet and started researching on the internet. The price for this one was way out of my budget, and this style is no longer available through Anthropologie. I also found that Target carries a line called 'Kissing Pleat" for $70-$80 and Wal-Mart's Better Homes and Gardens line has a pleated comforter in-stores, or at least the one by me, for about $60-$80. So, I went out on the town... First, I went out and bought some PLAIN flat sheets from -GASP- Wal-Mart. It should come out looking like this.

Tutorial: Scrap Buster Fall Pillow This is my favorite thing to do with my little scraps, and since its Scrap Buster month over at Sew, Mama, Sew, I made a quick tutorial so you can make your own. This pillow cover is 16" square with an envelope back & the design possibilities are endless! I added some pillows I’ve previously made with this same method at the end of this post. You’ll Need: 1. 2. 3. 4. Iron your fabric scraps onto your appliqué material according to the directions on the appliqué material. Now with scissors cut out your trunk and leaf shapes. When you get all your leaves cut out, tear the backing appliqué paper off the leaves and trunk. Then you can arrange them how you want on your pillow front. Once your design is how you like it, press with an iron over each spot for a few seconds making sure not to bump anything out of place. Now you can sew either along the inside edges of your leaves, or you can do a zig zag stitch or blanket stitch around the edges if you prefer. Pin around the edges well.
