Where we ask for the opinions of others

[Veruki]

I have 2 yards of this
http://www.hancocks-paducah.com/ProductImages/Large/ah6670ayellow.jpg
and I want to make something, but I'm bored of making bags, not great at making tops, and I have a ton of skirts.
Any thoughts?

[lukkucairi]

immediate thought was pajama bottoms

fancy pants :D

[Frieda]

i assume that's fabric?


pillow cases & matching wall decoration
apron & pot holders
bag for frieda


or

you could make a decoration from it and sew it on a top

[brightpearl]

OMG SEND IT TO MEEEEEE!

:D

Even if you're not great at making tops, this kind is really easy to make and would work with that fabric. You should give it a go.

if you make a bag for Frieda, you hafta make one for me, btw...

[lukkucairi]

pearly, do you know how to make a cape?

I'm in the market for a good pattern

[brightpearl]

What kind?

I recommend the Cape of Good Hope.

Or something like this:

Takes a lot of fabric, but it wouldn't be hard, especially the top right version. Getting the lining straight is hard sometimes...use lots of pins.

[Veruki]

I asked a co-worker and she said a head band. I just walked out the room. I need something time consuming, not a 5 min project.

I like the second top down, and the first one.

[brightpearl]

^Just spend plenty of time carefully spacing/pinning the fabric where it will gather up the bottom part of the shirt, and it'll come out great. Use all the little notches the pattern will give you, and start by putting pins around at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, and then fill in with between...

Hey, a headband using all 2 yards of fabric might get pretty spectacular...

[funkytuba]

Apron!

[AllegroNg]

I hate to say it, but I would LOVE a bag made out of that fabric!

(the first thing that came to my mind was wallpaper :confused:)

[brightpearl]

^You know, you could adhere it to a big canvas and hang the sucker on the wall, as Frieda suggested. I think that would kick home decor ass.

[T.I.P.]

300 hawaiian chihuahua shirts

[Hyakujo's Fox]

Any thoughts?

It reminds me of my dad's original 1970's wallpaper.

[Brynn]

or, just in time for spring ...
Vogue Pattern 2449 Trenchcoat
http://www.friendsofpr.com/kayy/FrontAUT_2306.jpg
it would be very time-consuming...and of course you'll want a matching headband.And big orange or green buttons

Wait, only two yards, huh? How about placemats and napkins?
Two pillow cases?
Book covers are always nice...make your own journals out of regular notebooks and give them away for Christmas.

Better yet, make a bunch of pillows and fill them with flax seeds - then you can microwave them and put them at the bottom of your sheets to warm your feet at night.

[trisherina]

Apron!

This is all this fabric is suitable for if you are looking for a pattern of any significant complexity and all you have is two yards.

edited to add: It needs some really poisonous green rick rack in scallops to finish it off properly

[Brynn]

toilet cozy?

ETA: I totally agree about the rick rack

[Brynn]

how about bows for the stems of all your wine glasses?

[Brynn]

lampshade

[Brynn]

rosettes

[Brynn]

dog collar with matching leash

[Coffee]

Matching hat, tie, and handkerchief set.

[lukkucairi]

different opinion:

should I get a haircut?

http://www.joshuakay.com/images/bighair1.jpg

[Stephi_B]

But only then and really only then if you don't like the afromullet look no longer ;)

My suggestions for you

http://www.scottsdalehair.com/hairphotos/portfolio_images/port_colleen.jpg

[Veruki]

YES! I love new haircuts, go for it. I would suggest this
http://hairstyle.sighvogue.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/hair01_01.jpg
or for something more dramatic this

[Coffee]

Don't do anything drastic. Try out a prosthesis first and see if you like it first.

[noxxville]

You could also just try a new hair style:

[brightpearl]

^aw, man, now I'm giggling all over again about pinche fauxhawk (http://bulletin.zefrank.com/showpost.php?p=375851&postcount=3258) boy...:D

Y'all got lukku's style all wrong. This is so her:
http://www.beautyriot.com/stuff/images/articles/approve/3650_4605_Simpson-Jessica-12-4x.jpg

Just kidding. :D

When in doubt, grow it out, I always say. Or cut bangs. I recommend a side part with bangs if you go shorter.

[Brynn]

^second that

[Frieda]

i have another idea for veruki-- a brooch, a hairband & a scarf/shawl/whatever it's called in english ;)

[lukkucairi]

don't be kidding with that - I could totally do a jessica simpson :p

and pinche fauxhawk guy makes my day :D

[Veruki]

^Oh please, Jessica Simpson's got nothing on you.

[brightpearl]

^Seconded.

I think she did have sex with John Mayer, though. I can't speak for lukku, but that would put her one up on me, at least.

[Veruki]

Come to think of it, now that those two are not together I find him so much more attractive.
So Lukku, are we finally for against the haircut?

[lukkucairi]

I'll get the 'do if John Mayer gets it too :D

[Angry Kid Hoyt]

Should I actually do some work today or spend all of my time putzing around online?

(It should be noted that I have already worked 57 hours this week and I am not paid hourly)

[Veruki]

I vote for putzing. I mean will anyone really notice if you do nothing today?

[Angry Kid Hoyt]

Nobody really understands what I do here so nobody would ever know if i was doing my job or not.

[Marcus Bales]

How do I get a gig like that?

[Angry Kid Hoyt]

Just get a job in technology.

(and working for the state helps, too.)

[Marcus Bales]

All my jobs have involved bringing in big amounts of money for my company -- do you think it's too late for me to change?

[Angry Kid Hoyt]

Hmmm, never heard of brothels being referred to as companies.

[Marcus Bales]

What does everyone else, think, could that be because Hoyt has never owned one?

[Brynn]

One what? A company that makes large amounts of money, a brothel, or the number one?

[lukkucairi]

I'd like to hire Hoyt as my madam.

you up for it, Angry Kid?

you just gotta move to earthquake-ridden Nevada, though...

[Stephi_B]

I was just thinking about what sort of decent job I might pick after I got my title.. Having my own brothel? Maybe in combi with a club in the front?
Mmmmh.... :) Gotta ask my friend if she's in it (the one with whom I planned a Thelma & Louise thing - without the cliff jump thing though - like 5 years ago... ah, well she became teacher abroad and all - but now she's BACK!)

What do you say?

[lukkucairi]

Steph, you *definitely* need to open a brothel.

[Stephi_B]

^Looks like it could be a family enterprise: my sis and dad showed some interest already... though they also have set some conditions... yoy! :rolleyes:

Nah, seriously, a brothel would be not exactly my fav business, but running a nice club.... music, people, nighttime life and all :) Gotta play lotto for the financial issue! ;)

[Angry Kid Hoyt]

I'd like to hire Hoyt as my madam.

you up for it, Angry Kid?

Heak yeah! I'll use any excuse to wear a feather boa!

[Marcus Bales]

Heck yeah said The Kid, any moa
whatevah we do, we'rah whoa
Ah know yuh lahk drawls
As Ah fondle yer balls
And tickle your arse with my boa.

[Angry Kid Hoyt]

You know he takes chances
She said of his advances
so then with her whip
She snapped off his tip
and thus ended Bales’ romances

[Veruki]

Ta-Da!

A book hand-bound by me. I didn't use the whole fabric, but I think I'm going to attempt a cute top as the lovely Perla suggested

[Frieda]

*sigh* there goes my bag... ;)


looks neat, veruki! :)

[Veruki]

thank you
