More ummm "sewing"

Well at least I'm using my sewing/embroidery machine, unlike a certain lady in Reno who only claims she has an embroidery machine, but never shows us her project(s). :->

Very nice. I hope they do make it home. It's so annoying what will go missing in a dorm. Whenever I had things come up missing, I would try very hard to remind myself that apparently the other person needed it more than I did. No, it didn't really work very well. But I **tried.**

Thanks! This was a really quick project, about 45 minutes total start-to-finish.

I attribute the missing stuff more to confusion than malice. When six teenage boys share a space, they lend and borrow stuff. If the stuff is not clearly marked it loses its way in the hustle-bustle of packing up at the end of the school year. If a few Target towels are the worst of the loss, it's really not such a big deal, we just hope to improve the odds.

I really was thinking about designing a sparkly Isis crown and decorating it with the aid of my embroidery machine.

I made one several years ago. You want some buckram, and some spray glue. You can do anything you want on the fabric. Then spray glue it to the buckram. Once it dries, you can sew the buckram into a tube. Then attach it to a "beanie" type hat that fits inside the tube. Align the lower edges of both, bind with bias tape. Piping is optional, but makes for a nice edge. Remember to use a 90 needle on the buckram and DON'T rush it, let the feed dogs stroll through that stuff.

Oh, and remember to angle the top of the tube so it looks a little more graceful on your head. Also cover the top of the beanie with either matching or coordinating fabric. It will be visible to those behind you.

I'm awaiting photos..........

That is sooooooo tempting. Maybe we should have a "Who Can Make the Best Crown" alt.sewing contest? Prizes to be determined. We could donate them to local kids' groups for Halloween. ;->

Some really lame "comedic? banter" going on here, ladies. Why not spare us and take your act private amongst yourselves? I know, I know, I don't have to read it, but I always slow down to gawk at wrecks and offer assistance, such as this advice to you. JPBill

One of my former co-workers often wore a tiara to work. We were telecommuters, so I take her word for that, but I believe her.

Hmmm, I think the tiara I made for my wedding veil is still stashed somewhere around here, I could don it while reading alt.sewing, that would make me feel very special.

Personally I am sat here head to toe scruff, marble dust and glue patches on my old sweat pants!! a tiara would top me off beautifully I do believe.

But, Juno!!!! Can't you just picture her at the grocery???? And can't you just picture the other shoppers' expressions????

You ARE special, sweetie!!! If you need to wear the tiara to make yourself feel that way, that's fine. Whatever you need to do. ;)

I can see her now, I would love to see the look on the faces of the other shoppers. I bet she's get to be first in line every shopping trip. Go ahead Beverly, wear the tiara and post the pics of the other shoppers. I think you should start by wearing it to TSWLTH.

Fabulous idea, Beverly! When my DDs and DGDs were young, I used Quaker Oatmeal boxes for crowns, decorated with lace, rickrack and other small scraps of whatever. They were not as fancy as Sharon's, but the girls liked them, as did most of their playmates. Also, with a little paint and crayons, the boxes made great drums for the boys & girls. Emily
