Your eyes aren't deceiving you, this IS actually a new post!

School and trying to find an apartment and job for the summer has prevented me from doing much sewing, or at least taking pictures of things I've finished...but I have finally taken pictures (albeit with a webcam so they're not amazing) of things I've been working on.I crocheted this (test) hat with cheapo Red Heart yarn to test out the pattern Top Rankin in the book Hip Hats and Cool Caps by Afya Ibomu...I LOVE this book, and this pattern. I'm making it up for reals in a brown/gold/green colorway and it should be really cute.

And when Threadless had a T-shirt sale a while ago, I bought this shirt:

Called My Father Was a Sailor & My Mother, a Quilter, but I could only buy it in men's XL, which didn't fit me AT ALL. Not wanting to pass up a sale (especially since this particular shirt I had had my eye on since it came out) So I did some cutting and sewing and came up with this:
I love the back, mostly because it shows off my (amazing) tattoo, but I may have to add a little tie thing so that it stays in place. I may end up shortening it a bit, but I like that I can wear it as kind of a tunic thing or bunch it up so it will be shorter. 
That's all for now, but hopefully after finals I will have time for more sewing!
 

We FINALLY finished it!!!

Yep, we finally finished the pirate car!!! We worked on it the last few days of spring break, and got most of it done (in good enough shape to give to J's sister)...we can add brake lights and front part thing later....

Steering wheel (before we finished the top) with the key part and mirror part

We used shimmery silver fabric for the mirror.
She loves it! Sorry for the blur, she doesn't like to sit still! Here you can see the red crushed velvet on the seat.
The whole thing!
We put some more wood contact paper on the dash
Now that it's done, we both agreed that we are never undertaking a project like this ever ever EVER again.

Works in Progress

I started embroidering this t shirt with a drawing by Jason Sho Green, who has some really funny drawings and such. 

J and I also worked on his sister's Cozy Coupe, which we are transforming into a pirate ship. 

Here's J sticking on the wood contact paper, after we had spray painted the body black with special plastic spray paint.
Back view, we're planning on making a license plate or getting one of those bike ones.

One of the front supports for the top.
We still have to cover the top in canvas and cover the seat with some red crushed velvet ridiculousness. We're hoping we can get it all done over spring break.
