Žabacorporation: Black Brook T-Shirt - the Tower

http://zabacorporation.blogspot.com/2014/08/loki-t-shirt-tower.html

Thursday, 21 August 2014. Black Brook T-Shirt - the Tower. My boyfriend has birthday soon and I decided to make something special for him. We and couple of friends are building a small medieval village and I have chosen the most significant building. I printed a picture and was wondering how to transfer the image to black T-shirt with the least effort :). I sewed the roof in light brown. To show the shadow under it, I used dark brown - I switched the color in the middle of line. When I made wattle fence,...

Žabacorporation: October 2014

Saturday, 18 October 2014. Ironing Board Sleeve - Finished. I drew the shape of the upper part to the treshold that is not carved. I got a new electrical saw - I attached the wood to the table and cut it carefully. I was surprised that I had to press quite strongly forwards. And downwards when the saw was slowing down. I glued both smaller wood pieces, let them dry a bit and pressed together to form a T. I folded the edges and hammered a few nails. The fabric must be tightened well on the arm. When this ...

Žabacorporation: Photo Album - Binding

http://zabacorporation.blogspot.com/2014/11/photo-album-binding.html

Saturday, 1 November 2014. Photo Album - Binding. I want to make a photo album.I don't like white paper very much - I bought the paper that's used at the post office for the packages.It's cheap and nice and tough. I folded the paper and cut the size with these two layers. The size of one layer is photo plus one cm at the sides and one cm at the binding. I took three pieces of twill band, measured the distances on the book and drew marks at each sheet. I pricked the holes with a pin. Photo Album - Finished.

Žabacorporation: March 2013

Tuesday, 19 March 2013. A Man Sunbathing With His Pet. You know, when it comes to a snowman, it doesn't mean the same thing for me as for most people. I just don't like making balls, I'm not good at it. At first, I wanted him to hold a puppy, but then I thought almost everyone has a pet dog. I prefer imagination. When I shape the body, I feel like stroking the real body. That's what makes the right profile easier to achieve :-). Links to this post. Saturday, 9 March 2013. Links to this post. The petticoa...

Žabacorporation: January 2014

http://zabacorporation.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 22 January 2014. Belly Dance in Blue&Brown - Bra Flowers. I drew a pattern on the right cup. Then I transferred it to the left one - I chose several points. At each point, I measured its distance from two other points (the center of the bra and the upper edge). Boring work but efficient. I spent a long time deciding about what the steams will be from. I didn't want spangles (which are the most comfortable to sew for me). Links to this post. Saturday, 11 January 2014. But here you can see the p...

Žabacorporation: Ironing Board Sleeve - Heart

http://zabacorporation.blogspot.com/2014/09/ironing-board-sleeve-heart.html

Tuesday, 16 September 2014. Ironing Board Sleeve - Heart. Mom's birthday is coming soon and I was wondering what I should give her. Then I remembered I use her ironing board sleeve and she has none. I bought two tresholds. I drew the outer shape and a heart for the carving. I know I should have used a narrow chisel, but I love the U-shaped one. I went vertically along the line and then from the opposite side to the carved line. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Žabacorporation: September 2014

Thursday, 18 September 2014. Ironing Board Sleeve - Heart Finished. I had the basic heart shape and I drew a symmetrical floral pattern inside. I started carving out the outline between the heart frame and the flower outline. Always, the outline must be cut with the chisel held vertically. Then the chisel is taken at angle and the wood is removed, never going below the cut outline. The inner structure of leaves is done similarly, just the vertical cut is done just at one side to create shading. I bought ...

Thursday, 24 October 2013. Belly Dance in Blue&Brown - Covering the Cups. I feel like making myself a new bellydance costume. I believe I've learnt my lesson from the last attempt and I will only use stretch fabrics for covering the bra :-]. I pinned it on again. Those who are not lazy can baste the right side at the edges - it simplifies the work a lot. I folded the seam allowance in a half and carefully attached it to the bra. It's ok to pull a bit to keep it smooth. Links to this post. Belly Dance in ...
