We were invited to a birthday for 2 young boys (they turned 2 years old). Well, I could not for the life of me figure out what I could give them without buying something new. I mean, I usually make jewelry or sew purses and things like that for gifts. But not for 2-year-old boys! Late one night, as I bemoaned my dilemma to my friend Sharon, she says, "Monsters!" After doing a search on Flckr for them, I created these guys. They have no names as they were gifts. I had a great time making them.
I've helping out with a Swap-o-Rama! If you're in the Washington, DC area, you're invited! What is it? Bring a bag of your unloved/unwanted/unused clothes and swap with the other attendees! We'll have embellishments, sewing machines and other supplies for you to alter your "new" clothes. I'll be womaning the sewing table. Come and meet some new people and get some new-to-you clothes. We're also looking for volunteers. So if you have DIY altered t-shirt project or cool ideas you want to share, send me an email!
Here's the info:
July 14, 2007 from 12PM to 5PM
8713 Plymouth Street, Silver Spring MD
