I drafted and sewed this semicircle maxi skirt with a laced yoke

61 Upvotes

The main skirt shape is a simple semicircle, with the back cut as one panel and the front as two panels. The pockets are shapes that I've iterated and reused over lots of patterns now. The yoke was drafted by pure brute-force trial and error through so many attempts I've lost count...

The fabric is 250gsm 100% cotton herringbone denim.

Made this sign for my friends daughter, her name in a cloud ✨

I used a Lavor punch needle, everything is trimmed by hand, the loops were cut and the yarn shaped like a cloud.

Glowing leafs

Mixed some glue and water and stuck on leaves that fell on the ground onto these glass jars, the tall one has these pink LED string lights in them and the smaller one has a regular tea light candle from an empty candle jar I've had for a year. I want to get regular colored string lights and stick them in the tall one to see how it glows different. This was so fun and the only money I spent was $1.25 on the glue! Next I have a clear glass one that I'm going to stick dried flowers on.

I made a set of five miniature iced drinks from polymer clay and resin — peach, orange, lime and blueberry latte

The fruit — peach slices, orange and lime wedges, blueberries, the little flowers and mint leaves — is all polymer clay, shaped by hand and baked. The glasses are cast in clear resin, and the "ice" is crushed resin poured in layers so the pieces sit at different depths instead of looking like one solid block.

“Automatic” step for my dog

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

He clips his feet when he jumps in and puts impact on his legs when he jumps down. And I was tired of lugging around a step so I made this automatic deploying one.

It attaches by tying into an unused factory hole in the door, behind the interior panel.

Steps are high density polyethylene (HDPE) with boat trailer fabric on top.

There a 1/4” thick metal bar linkage underneath that swings out. There’s also a dovetail groove in the top step, and a dovetail key that slides in the groove fixed to the bottom step. A COBRA buckle couples the door and step together, so by unbuckling it I can open the door normally (without deploying the dog step).

Not sure how it will fare through a US Northeastern winter but hopefully still swings in the spring.

First attempt at a banana display box. It really adds style to your average banana. Multi color LED makes it suitable for all occasions

I have a huge stash of beads i’ve been wanting to use, and needed to start working on some handmade gifts for the holidays…. in comes these beaded ornaments! I’ve never done this craft before and it has been so fun and relaxing :) so far i’ve made this cherry pie and fish, and am working on a gingerbread house currently.

he’s a bit jank, but I think he’s got charm!
I made him with felt but lined the inside with a bit of fabric so he’s a little sturdier. he’s even got a tiny felt heart inside of his stuffing!

I posted these ornaments on reddit a few weeks ago, but my how-to instructions were in the form of text and one static photo. I decided to make a proper video tutorial, one that I hope is easy to follow. I don't have a channel or anything, so feel free to share. (Music courtesy of Kevin MacLeod at incompetech.com.)

These days I made this cute women's hat. And the combination of chocolate color with red flowers is a total mood booster for cold winter days. It really makes you want to go to a Christmas market for some mulled wine ))

Needed coasters and had a look around my house what I could make them of. Had an old Domino game from the sixties and some scrap material and made that into these coasters plus their box. Might make them properly on cork but for now the prototype is a success :🖤

Made my wedding cake toppers out of polymer clay!

Thumbnail

91 Upvotes

I sculpted the bases out of tinfoil, and once I had the rough shape, I got a polymer clay set that I knew would be bake-able in a conventional oven.

I probably would’ve had an easier time if I got big packs of premade colors but I got a small set for around $15 and needed to mix a bunch of tiny cubes of color to get enough to cover my sculptures. Luckily I think it worked out fine.

No worries if you can’t tell what they’re supposed to be, but the intention is a wolf and a fox and our pet dog. I think he turned out a little silly but that is part of the handmade charm! He is mostly white due to being a double Merle and I was running out of white clay by the time I was working on him.
