The Unravelings of a Looneyman

Today was the first time in over a year that I sewed something for me!!!!

I have had this idea over the last 3 or 4 months that I wanted a bomber style jacket for this winter. So over the past 3 days I have worked on making the fabric. Yes I said making the fabric.

The jacket is going to made out of fabric that I create with a technique I came up with to use thread that I will not sew with!! I have a bit more work to finish on the fabric. When the fabric is completed I will post a picture of it before I cut out the jacket.

My newest quilting project is a co production of myself and kittycollector. We are making it for a friend. I will post more details when it is complete. Don’t want to post it just incase the person happens to come across the blog!!

Hi Ho, Hi Ho it is off to sew I go!

I was asked to make a banner for a friends birthday!!! Since I do good fabric I said sure.

I was told he hates flamingos, pink and tacky stuff. So my little brain got to thinking (and we all know exactly how scary that is!) So I decided to make it white with a flamingo border, pink letters and an Airstream trailer with a satilite dish and  palm trees. Then I decided it needed something more. But I just could not put my finger on it!

I thought a while (I know there I go thinking again) and thought needs metallic thread and rhinestones!!! Lots of rhinestones!

The pictures!

So below is a picture!! Isn’t it jus fabulous
