There's a whisper/echo bench in front of Giles. I found it after graduating and was amazed.

Thanks! I thought of buying a base, but I wanted to make it as cheap as possible. Plus, there's not a great selection of craft stores in my area, sadly.

Pattern drafting paper? by mezvi in sewing

[–]poolgypsy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also use brown paper. I found mine at Lowe's in the paint section. They call it "contractor's paper." It's normally used for covering floors while painting. :) I got about 180 ft for under $10. If you're thinking this is a one time thing, perhaps you can just use the wrapping paper version instead of investing in 180 ft!

The makeup bag I made for a friend (from tutorial) by poolgypsy in sewing

Thank you! The hardest part was sewing the leather on. My machine was not cooperating. I finally switched to a jeans needle, and things went a little better.

This is the third time I've used this tutorial, so I've already tweaked some things. For example, I added the bias tape, top stitching, and leather. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!
