LunaFreya Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Anyone managed to do crafts this lockdown? I managed to get a good jump on my 18th century stays but I don’t think they’re supposed to do this 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antifa Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 They're gorgeous! I have no photos, but have finished the following: One olive green corduroy skirt using McCalls M7022 One denim skirt using Wendy Ward's A-Line skirt pattern One floral corduroy skirt using Wendy Ward's A-Line skirt pattern with inverted pleat. I am also slowly working my way through the ribbing on a Poison Grrls Honey Bop cardi. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 7 day lock down last week here in SA. Kept myself busy with a diamond dot painting. Sorry, I don't have a photo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Bicycle Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Something DS and I did with some plain white air dry clay I had opened. They are all Pokemon heads and I painted up a wooden cheese box I saved to glue them too. 11 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okelydokely Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I was hoping to have finished a really cute retro pair of shorts with sushi fabric finished today but they are like bloody parachutes and I’m just not sure the project is going to come together haha. I have stepped away and will come back when I feel less depressed about them lol. But I did manage to make a pair of black overalls and a really cute pinafore in the last few weeks. Technically wasn’t in lockdown at the time but was under restrictions, so wasn’t going out all that much. Also made DD an oodie. That was a PROJECT. So. Much. Fluff. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruitmincepies Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I really want to see the parachute sushi shorts! (The black overalls look great on you) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okelydokely Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Thank you. They are super comfy. if the sushi pants work out, I’ll post progress photos so you can see why I was concerned haha. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123tree Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 (edited) I am not crafty and can’t SEW. However today I cracked it with DS’s doona cover and sewed loops on the inside corners and buttons to the doona so the corners stay put. this is quite advanced by my standards. edited to correct spelling. I wrote see not sew. I can’t sew. My messy stitches make it look like I can’t see but I don’t have that excuse.

That’s not craft, that’s essential maintenance! Misbehaving doonas are one of my bugbears in life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LunaFreya Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 Nice! I can’t knit and admire those who do Moving along with my stays. Made my own bias binding and I’m attaching it by hand. At least I can watch TV and do it 11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aww thank you Lots of different ways to do it, but for this I used pouring acrylics and poured them bits at a time into a cup, then poured the cup onto the canvas. Then you pick it up and move it around and it sort of oozes across. Messy but soothing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley225 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Sounds hard but you did a good job. I can remember hack in the 70s at fetes they had some machines that spun round and you poured paint onto paper in them and made interesting patterns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people do something similar, use something like a potters wheel or a turntable to spin the canvas once the paint is on, or while pouring it. I’d love to do it if I had space I could make that sort of mess in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunaFreya Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 my samurai armour, which has taken months to get to this stage. So tell yourself kids it’s totally possible to make samurai armour in the backyard with sports shoe laces and plastic you buy from Bunnings 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
