Thesis poncho!

 So I finally finished this.

I know that I supposedly write thesis, but I can't help that sometimes my head just does not  want to think about the numbers. So I crochet this poncho instead.

The yarn was Top Yarn, which I used for other bolero project last year. I have left over of 2 balls of yarn, so I bought another 3 balls and voila!

The basic pattern was pineapple, and the pattern was from Lady Boutique (Boutique-sha) no. 3165, and the pattern number was number 20.

I am so happy with the result. However, before you see the result, I must tell you that the result was supposedly like this:

too lazy to scan, so I post the pic from internet :p

and the result is like this:

in the school's secret garden

Why?
well... i am too lazy to use the suggested yarn and needles. So, after I recalculating, I made 6 pineapples to surround me (wrap me, exactly).

I'm happy with the result ^^

stay tuned and keep crafting!

sneak peek! thesis capelet!

 Just a sneak peek of my recently done capelet.

I crochet this during thesis writing. Just to keep my sanity.

This is the capelet during blocking.

Wait for the complete story! ^^


stay tuned and keep crafting!

Corset cut t-shirt

My junior asked me to cut t-shirt for her. I got to say that I like cutting for her, since she's a rare kind of Taiwanese girl who knows how to style herself. And she has a good taste.

The t-shirt was a club t-shirt, means that there're probably 50 other people who has the same tee. The fabric itself, it's not as elastic as i wanted, since I think they mixed it with Rayon or something, so I wasn't dare enough to make any big holes.

I decided by making a corset cut on the back. So that the tee will have waist line.

 

First, cut by 1.5 cm at the back, both sides, to make the corset line.



And weave them after pulling all the strings made from the cut.

And since the tee was still too big, I added another corset line. This one is shorter, since I don't want to bottom part to be too narrow, so it won't pulled up when she wears it.



I cut the bottom seam line to make a halter, and cut the sleeves, weave them, and used the sleeves seam line to make a string and bind the shoulder part.

Before I do the finishing touch

I didn't further cut the back and front part, because I want to preserve the printed something (I think it was related to their club).
Removed the neck seams, and made some cuttings to show more skin.

And this is the comparison of original cut, and the the aftercut.

If you want to learn more about t-shirt cutting, go to youtube, and find itsblitzzz. She has lots of videos on how to cut the tees. Love her cutting style (and tattoos, they're so beautiful!)

ok then... stay tuned and keep crafting! :D
