Happy Smocked Dress with Crochet Lace!
I had some free time (rare!) so, i decided to make myself something pretty to wear. Because if we don't spoil ourselves sometimes, who will? ;)
I had some fabric I had bought a year ago, and I just found it, so voila! A new summer dress ♥
...happy crafting~!

Turning random stuff in your home into a Costume Dagger!
I needed to make a quick cosplay weapon for a photoshoot and i needed something to be the base of it, so i found this small butter/pate knife thingy (if you're going to use something like this, make sure it's NOT SHARP!)
Instructions:
-find random thing that has a good handle (i found this butter/pate knife with a really dull blade).
-use super sculpy and shape the blade and handle to what you want the dagger to look like.
-bake following the instructions on the super sculpy box.
-sand it down to make it nice and smooth.
-prime it with acrylic paint primer.
-paint (i used acrylics) to make it look super realistic (or in my case really cartoony)
-after paint dries, coat painted parts with a satin acrylic varnish.
*an extra step to make your cosplay dagger look awesome is to add some finishing touches -i covered the mid section of the handle with a strip of faux leather.
and VOILA you are done and now you have an uber cool cosplay dagger!
...happy crafting everyone!
RAVING RABBIDS ARE INVADING!
This is the very FIRST completed custom commission costume for 2012! Made for a very adorable 2yr old little girl. Costume is complete with attached mittens, and hoodie with raving rabbid face. Rabbid eyes are attached with velcro to remove them for easier laundering. I hope she likes it :)
...BAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA~! (rabbid for 'loves yous')
Thinking Cap RAWR!
Having troubles figuring out pattern piece for this raving rabbid mini-me costume. Needed to put on my thinking cap.
MECHA BUNNY LOLLIPOPS!
This was made for my Amber (from sucker punch) cosplay, so I thought that I would share it with everyone how I made it:
Materials:
-super sculpy
-tin foil
-lollipop sticks
-toothpicks
-fine-grain sandpaper
-acrylic paints
Instructions:
-roll tin foil into balls roughly the size you want your bunny pops
-kneed super sculpy into a flat sheet and cover each foil ball with the clay
-shape another piece of super sculpy into a pair of ears and insert a toothpick into the bottom of the ears
-insert toothpick-ed bunny ear into the top of the ball of clay
-bake super sculpy in your oven as per the instructions on the box
-sand down with some fine-grain sandpaper
-paint
-done!
...it's that easy pleasey...now go be your Sucker Punch sexy self~!
COOL NEW SWEATSHIRT! (kind of...)
So digging through all my moutains and moutains of clothes, i found my incredibly old graduation shirt from when i was in elementary school (i totally just dated myself haha!). Just for fun, i put in on to see if it would fit. AND IT DID >.< I haven't grown an inch since 7th grade?? hahaha oh dear! My roomate must have thought this was very enduring because he patted my head and walked away laughing. I couldn't give it away since it had so much sentimental value, so i decided to give it new life and purpose (besides sitting at the bottom of my drawer). So HERE GOES...
Instructions:
-measure from collar/shoulder seam where you want the new collar to start (i chose 3 inches from the seam where the hood met the collar)
-mark off where you want to cut with pins or fabric marking pencil, then cut along that line
-And you're DONE! It's really that easy :)
Additional Steps:
-i found the sides too wide, so i took it in by an inch on either side. To do this, turn shirt inside out, then use your fabric pencil and draw a line down where you want take in the shirt.
-Cut excess fabric, pin together and sew
-the end.
...enjoy diy crafters~!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

BUNSEN + BEAKER HALLOWEEN!

...drink, be merry, and be scary. loves~!
BUNNY POPS!
A special giveaway for this comic cosplay party I'm attending this friday. I'm going dressed as Amber from Sucker Punch, so I thought I would make some bunny mecha lollipops to go with the cosplay. I made a few extras to give away at the party. So if you're going to be at Geeks after Dark. Look for me ;)
tumblr love~!
I've never had so much love from something that I posted onto tumblr, and I just wanted to thank you all for it! I totally have the warm fuzzies inside today because of everyone that has commented and LIKED and reposted my 'magnetic pin dish' craft idea. I loves you all~!
...rucjrlove
Magnetic pin dish!
How do you keep your pins off the floor so your roomate doesn't step on them? Glue magnets to the bottom!
MATERIALS:
-your favorite mini ceramic plate or dish (or just a pretty one you like)
-1 package craft magnets
-glue (i used GOOP)
INSTRUCTIONS:
-flip over dish and glue on magnets. You can decide how many you want to glue on, the more magnets you use, the stronger the pin will want to stick to the plate.
-let glue dry for a few hours
-put pins back on the rightside of the dish, and voila! You're done, it's that easy :)
...happy crafting!
Monster Face Chair Covers that RAWR!
How can you NOT want to make all your chairs look like cute monsters?? This was so much fun to make. The only confusing part was figuring out the order in which to sew them, it was a lot of trial and error. There was a lot of sewing parts of it inside-out for the top part of the chair, but it all worked out. I chose a cotton fabric because the are easy to wash and UBER comfy to sit on. The face was cut from wool felt sheets and hand-sewen to the back of the chair. I'm going to make a red version as well and hopefully start selling them after halloween.
...rawr ♥
A Peek Inside My Head
I thought I would share something very dear to my heart and soul -my pattern accordion folio thingy. Everything that I've designed, costume-wise, in the past 2 years is kept in this folder and worth more than anything else i own (i don't own very much haha!). It started off as kind of a boring brown folder, but now it's accessorized with lots of cool stickers and birthday cards that people have bought me over there years (another DIY idea!)
Some tips on keeping an awesome patterns folder:
-if it's an ugly folder, decorated it with stickers and other things you love
-alphabetize everything
-separate patterns by putting them in ziplock bags, super handy!
-label all pattern pieces you make yourself. You'll save tons of time later trying to figure out what that random rectangle piece of paper was supposed to represent.
-label each ziplock baggy with what the pattern is for. Adding a picture of what the pattern is in the baggy helps as well.
*These are just some ideas to help, but I'm completely bonkers when it comes to organizing my patterns. If I didn't do this, I would never know where anything is :)
Hope these tips help in your organizing, and thanks for visiting my head ♥
PILLOWS PILLOWS PILLOWS!
How do you redecorate with no budget? Make some old stuff new again! If you can sew in a straight line, you can do this project. I can barely walk in a straight line and even I can do this haha!
WHAT YOU NEED:
-old pillows you would rather throw ninja stars at than see again in your home
-fabric of your choice (i chose to use 2 contrasting colours, but one colour is just as nice)
-matching thread
-4 cool buttons (they don't have to match)
INSTRUCTIONS:
-Draw out on a large peice of paper the size you want your pillows
-Pin square patten to fabric and cut out (you will need one square of fabric for the front and one square for the back of pillow)
-Pin fabric together with right sides together
-Start sewing! Start in one corner and sew down to next adjacent corner. With needle still in down position, pivot fabric, and sew down to next corner, repeat.
-Stop 3 inches before reaching your last corner. You will need this opening to put your stuffing in. If your old pillows came with inserts instead of loose stuffing, make sure one entire side of pillow remains open to put the pillow inserts in.
-Flip pillow covers inside-out (right side of fabric now facing out) and press the seams and corners of your pillow cover
-Start stuffing your pillow
-When pillow is full of stuffing (or pillow inserts are...inserted) hand stitched the opening shut
-Find the centre of your pillow and mark with a fabric pencil (do this to both sides of pillow) this is where you will sew in the buttons
-With a needle and thread, put needle through centre of of pillow where you made your pencil mark and make sure you come out through the otherside through the other pencil mark you made on reverse side of pillow. Make sure you pull it tight so you get that cute dimple in the centre of your pillow.
-Sew on button to each side of pillow
And you're DONE! Now you have brand new cool pillows to show off and brag about.
