lildevilgrl s midnight projects lildevilgrl s midnight projects pages home shop thursday april 28 2011 semi failed airbrush experiment now that my airbrush is functional again i had an idea for a new mini hat i started with the basic outline of the crown to which my wonderful boyfriend masterlegion drew a flame outline for me onto freezer paper something that would take me hours to do he does in 5 minutes after making a copy of the original onto another piece of freezer paper and cutting it out i realized it needed to be just a little longer in the center back i added 2 small sections on either end overlapping the edges slightly and glued them in place with just an elmersglue stick then ironed the whole thing to a piece of satin if you have never used freezer paper as a stencil before this is a great technique just search google and you will find lots of tutorials so onto the fun part or so i thought i was trying to use the airbrush paint i already had on hand unfortunately nail art airbrush paint does not work on fabric or at least black fabric it certainly stained my light grey shirt at work i m thinking it s too transparent for this use i need to order an adapter part for my master airbrush from chicago airbrush supply anyway might as well order some createx opaque colors while i m at it this was a little disappointing i had realy wanted to finish this hat up i did have some purple createx opaque paint on hand and figured i might as well try it out while i was experimenting i also added a light mist of white pearl over the purple even though it didnt turn out the way i originally intended it s still kind of a neat looking piece i will probably be turning this into a hat sometime soon on another note my perfect pencil skirt is finished i just need to take some final photos before i post the results posted by lildevilgrl at 3 00 pm 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels experiments works in progress attack of the craft i recently joined a new message board with the intentions of just advertising and promoting my shop i figured i would just pop in ever once in a while post an item and that would be it i thought it was going to be just another crafting board instead i found a group of humorous down to earth and extremely talented crafters and artists they have been running a simon says contest lately today s task is share the love we are supposed to post to one of our social networking sites about the shop of our favorite member of the aotc board so here are just a few of my favorites because i found it

2011 perfect pencil skirt part 2 it s been a couple weeks i had a 3 orders to complete a couple coats to finish i sew patches on letterman s jackets and 2 hat ideas came to mind so i m back to working on something for me i finished my muslin and took the brave step of trying it on my hips are not as curvy as the pattern which created these weard sunk in dimples on the sides and the back darts didn t seem to be long enough which caused a weird bubble over my butt being that i m only 5 tall it s obviously too long i decided to tackle one issue at a time and started with the back darts figuring that might also remove some of the excess in the hip area too i turned the skirt inside out and pinned out the ease in the darts and lengthened them after taking the skirt off i then marked the end points of the darts and redrew new darts in red so i could distinguish the new lines from the old then basted the darts with black thread and put the skirt back on to deal with the hips i to be honest i think part of the hip issue was my underwear i marked the adjustment seam the same way i did the darts the hips didn t need much of an adjustment but they look much better now i shortened the skirt 3 inches i thought the bottom of the skirt was too wide for me so i narrowed it by 1 2 on both sides i rethread traced the new seam lines i decided to use the original cutting lines and just trace the new seamlines onto the fashion fabric i moved the slit up 3 inches and redrew the front slit directly onto the fabric using tailor s chalk i bought some stretch bengaline from joann s when i got it home i reakized the stretch went with the lengthwise grain since i didn t want my skirt to grow in length as i wore it i decided to try a usual no no i cut the pieces out on the crosswise grain of the fabric we shall see how this works out posted by lildevilgrl at 10 31 am 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels pencil skirt monday march 14 2011 my perfect pencil skirt project i ve been sewing for over 30 years and in that time i have developed some really lazy habits around the age of 16 sewing became a way for me to build a trendy wardrobe on a very small budget it was also the beginning of my worst habit i would start a blouse on a friday night and work all weekend so i would have a new blouse to wear on monday morning for school they were big oversized men s wear shirts that were worn with a tank unbuttoned belted with the sleeves rolled up most of the time my cuffs were never finished but who knew anyway right the sleeves were rolled up so you would think an unfinished garment put together half assed would be my worst habit but it s not it did however contribute to it large oversized shirts didn t need fitting so i never learned how to fit myself properly i slowed down my construction process and honed my construction skills i never took the time to make sure the garment would fit right it was always a big surprise at the end so this is my back to basics project to teach myself the skills i should have learned long ago because if the project at the end doesn t fit perfectly then i ve missed the entire point of sewing my own clothes i m starting my perfect pencil skirt off with a muslin my entire knowledge of muslin making came from this oct nov issue 151 article in threads magazine muslin refined this is the basic pieces traced and cut out on my muslin i has been many many years since i used transfer paper and a tracing wheel didn t the paper used to be more waxy this stuff was chalky and the slightest touched transferred rub marks at least this is just the muslin close up of the dart markings in the past i ve just used tailors tacks this is after i thread traced all the seam lines i also discovered something about my machine my guide is about 1 16 1 8 off which doesn t sound like much but could lead to the skirts entire finished measurements being off by 1 2 1 i got as far as inserting the zipper last night i took the time to practice inserting it properly zippers have always been the bane of my existence but basting it into place with 2 separate top stitching lines instead of trying to do the whole thing in 1 made a huge difference i think zippers can now be my friend side seams tonight then the fitting posted by lildevilgrl at 11 15 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels pencil skirt simplicity patterns thursday march 10 2011 project updates and a new one in the works it s been a while since i ve posted i have good intentions but one thing leads to another like chasing after a 14 month old and my good intentions go right out the window so here are the final pictures and thoughts about the angel devil costume since his father and i have decided we didn t want to post our son s pictures all over the internet i used one where you can t really see his face this was pretty simple to assemble it was also the first time i did 90 of the construction on my 4 thread serger this is the front i stitched the 2 front sections together then the 2 heart sections then appliqued the heart to the front this was really stretchy fabric and a little tricky to applique with and onto stabilizing it with stitch and tear made it a lot easier my next projects were father son matching bowling shirts with tattoo flash fabric from fresh cut fabrics for the baby s shirt i bought this pattern from the scientific seamstress i think the photo of the little blonde boy on the front is what sold me this pattern is very well put together and gives the sewer a lot of options the construction technique for the contrast panels on the front is simple yet brilliant you strip piece the sections together then cut your fronts out separately aligning vertical markers on the pattern pieces with the seam lines i liked this technique so much i used it to construct daddy s i couldn t find buttons i liked that would compliment the tattoo flash so i made covered buttons using the star pattern from the fabric unfortunately i do not have a picture of father and son wearing them the next two projects will be for me a pencil skirt using simplicity 5259 and a dress from a vintage 1950 s sundress pattern from mccall s posted by lildevilgrl at 2 11 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels costume finished projects simplicity patterns thursday september 23 2010 angel devil costume for my little angel i first started this blog to just announce when i had listed things in my etsy shop after a life changing event my son i decided to document my projects wether they end up in she shop or not so first on the list is my son s first halloween costume originaly we were going to do speed racer complete with a mach 5 walker after much searching for a sports car walker used they are way too expensive new to be altered we came up with an alternative pattened after this costume i like this costume but it s lacking one thing that is very important in chicagoland in october the fabric looks thin and not very warm so i figured i could alter this pattern simplicity 2506 i m planning on changing the velcro closure to a zipper redraw the horns skip the cape and draft an angel and bat wing well daddy will be drawing the angel and bat wings if i have to draw them out it will take twice as long my pile of supplies all purchased from our local joanns i can already tell this is going to be a messy project the edges of the cuddle fleece are already shedding i opted for a premade halo i ll just remove the headband and attach it to the hood that s the plan anyway posted by lildevilgrl at 2 59 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to
