I am working on a quilt and since my last attempt my sewing skills etc have improved. Here are the patches i have completed so far.

Any suggestion from zelda fans would be great or if you think there is a certain stitch that would look good or style.

I have got some zelda embroidery patches and some iron on crayons for a few of the other patches I plan to do two of each style.

IlF, I don't know much about Zelda, but ... very nice job!

Even though I hardly ever post in here, I thoroughly enjoy reading about all of your various projects, and so appreciate the talent here!

I'm not a Zelda fan either, but... I really like the button one. What a neat idea.

I am currently working on another button patch those and the chain stitch ones take sometime.

I think i got the button idea from a picture i saw a few years ago when i was doing a sewing assignment.

So what projects has everyone else been doing?

I don't know about Zelda, either, but those are really nice! Do you hand-sew them, or use a machine? The second is my favourite.

I've been into knitting sweaters lately. I'd like to learn how to make larger sweaters as I've never gotten the courage to do that, so I thought it would be good practice to knit baby sweaters.

Here's the one I finishes. The pattern is "Heirloom Cables Cardigan" from Lion Brand.

The picture quality is ugh, but whatever. I'm really pleased with how it came out!

@atb It is a bit of both the first and the last are hand sewn(for cross stitch and buttons) the the second one is machine sewn.

Anyway you have done a good job of the jacket, I can not knit at all.

WARNING: THIS POST IS IMAGE HEAVY.

Ahhhh, sewing, my favorite subject. >:D

OK, so I got into sewing through cosplay, and now sew items both for myself to wear and to sell. Here are a few examples of stuff I like to sew.

EXHIBIT 1: 1950's inspired cotton skirt (and yes, I made the mannequin with duct tape, don't be hating! )

Exhibit 2: Summer floral shorts

Exhibit 3: Beach cover-up/dress

Exhibit 4: Chinese-inspired tanktop dress as modeled by moi. This one was for myself, the rest are for sale.

So yeah, I sew and my sister crochets. Someday I'll have to get her on here so she can show you guys her stuff.

Anyways, if this is too image-heavy, let me know and I'll switch these to URL links instead.

Thanks, ILF! Well, I can't sew, so I guess we're even.

Wow, Ozymandias, your work is beautiful! You're really good. I've been wanting to get a sewing machine and learn how to make dresses, so your post just inspired me even more.
The duct tape mannequin is great. That's really creative. I think the skirt is my favourite, though the pattern on the shorts is really cute. Thanks for sharing those pictures! I'd definitely love to see more of your work!

I really like the Chinese style dress and the skirt is very nice to. I can't sew clothes very well, I was going to take a class or something. What would you suggest starting with? for someone who has only made a pair of sweat pants and boxer shorts.

I will post up more of my quilt as soon as possible.(in my case that may be 3 weeks).

@ Aslanisthebest: Thank you! Glad I got to inspire somebody! Yeah, I actually learned how to make the duct-tape mannequin off of Youtube. If you wanted to, you could also make a few paper-mache copies with the duct-taped mannequin as the base so as to display clothes better, but I'm just satisfied with the duct tape because I'm lazy. XD I might put up a couple of copies of some of my other stuff a bit later.

Hmm, well, if you still have the pattern for it the boxors are a good practice piece, but if you're up to a little pattern drafting the circle skirt is pretty basic. All you need are two pins, two pencils, a cloth measuring tape and some pieces of paper taped together. (I use drafting paper but hey, whatever works. )

This video will show you how to do it (and pretty much all of SecretLifeofaBioNerd's videos are very VERY good for people who are first learning to sew, especially her pattern drafting videos): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_NwglpFbAM&list=PL0D0483BB2662179D&index=2

Just a bit of a heads up, I serge EVERYTHING so I'm not entirely sure how this would work with a sewing machine.

Oh, and one more thing, GiannyL is pretty good for figuring out how to sew stuff without a pattern as well: https://www.youtube.com/user/GiannyL She does use stretchy knit though, so her method won't work well on non-stretch fabrics (which is primarily what I work with).

Hope this helps!

oh dear, I've meant to come here for such a long time well, at least I am here now

PP, I cross stich too, and I really love your work, the afghan is lovely, I LOVE the Narnia ABCs!!!! It's a work of genuis!!! the bear and the elephants are wonderful too

Bella, your knitting left me speechless!!! I'm still in the long process of learning to knit. I love the sweater

ILF, I don't know anything about Zelda, but I do love your work the buttens in particular are really cool

Ozymandias I am speechless!!! You have wonderful work, I love your chinese dress and the skirt and the shorts and the dress and are lovely.

I have spare material so i might try the skirt.

no one has been here for a loooooong while. I've been meaning to come, but other things kept me away. I've been teaching myself to crochet and loving every minute. Recently, I finished my first baby blanket. It didn't come out exactly as I had wanted it too, but for a starter, I'm proud of it. (actually, I completed it sometime in April, but it came out really bad and was just filled with mistakes, so I took the whole thing apart and redid it completely. I'm much happier with my second result. Here's a picture (not the best of quality, sorry about that.)

also, I was working on this beading project. I had hoped for a more delicate finished project, but because I didn't have a patteren and did the whole thing completely from the top of my head and from leftover beads, I suppose it's okay for what it is. When you look at it from far away, it actually looks pretty nice (so walk away from your screen and look at it from a distance lol just kidding ).

I need to frame it, but I haven't got a frame the correct size, I'll get around to it (someday )

Wow, wild rose, that baby blanket looks great! And you're teaching yourself to crochet? Wow. I am very impressed. Some friends taught me how to crochet, and I still have an unfinished (and much simpler) baby blanket I started years ago.
I think your beading project also turned out really well, especially for creating your own pattern! Are the light purple beads that you used for the shoes larger than the others, or is that just an illusion?

The bead picture is very cute, wild rose. How (why?) did you decide to do ballet slippers?
