lovely "catch and release" scarf
Someone can make one of these lovely scarves for me anytime. Maybe navy blue? Brava Presser Foot! (http://presserfoot.blogspot.com) ps: Do you think her dining room is always that clean? The floors are shiny!
More silk screening techniques for people with no skills (me)!
Wow. This method for silk screening seems much more doable than the whole silk, squeegee, having your own studio, being 22 and cool method. Thanks naughtysecretaryclub.blogspot.com!
I can print something off, trace it, modge-podge it and dab some ink around... right Danyelle? (A big shout out to my only follower so far!) (I know you are out there Shannon...)
It seems to allow for more detail than the freezer paper method. Maybe we should stage some kind of celebrity death match - the hoop team vs. the freezer paper team. Or we could just have the unicorn onesie baby face-off against the gold-fish pants baby.

Another project for the wee-ones
It shows how to make these pacifier clips using a serger (word of the day!!!) but you could do this with a sewing machine no problem (she says having never done it but with total authority). I may need to make one of these for my keys. And wallet. And cell phone. And brain. Thanks sewmamasew.com!

Who likes Goldfish? I like this idea for making a stencil out of freezer paper... But really, if you like Goldfish tell me cause then I know what I'm making you for xmas...tiny tiny tiny brown pants. With Goldfish on them. And a bag of Goldfish. G'damn. Pepperidge Farms should be paying me for this post! Back to http://www.dana-made-it.com/ to see what other stuff she's got going on!
What about something for those babies?????

Love this project except for the part about buying the scarf from the dollar store to make them. I wonder what else you could use? Can you buy that scrunchy fabric by the yard? And please note.... this project requires a SERGER!! Let the countdown to Friday begin!!! I said COUNT!!
Thanks obsessively stitching!
OK THAT'S IT!
I'm buying a serger. Because I'm pretty sure you all would rather get one of these than a crazy flower broach. Am I right? Am I right????? Update: this project is my nemesis. Broke two needles in the seger, finally gave up and just made some jersey scarves without the lettuce edge. It's not like I can write to the Etsy seller and say, "hey, how did you make that so I can make it and not buy it from you?" Maybe I'll try again tomorrow. After all. Tomorrow is another day!
