Fur Mantle from Becca's Crazy Projects

What can you do with a piece of fur from Ikea? Well, my plan was to make a fur mantle that would give the viewer the impression of a barbarian character.
I made a foundation for the fur and sewed the fur to the foundation.
And trimmed the fur into a suitable shape. 
Then, I decided I didn't want it to be white and did a dye experiment. And that is where it all went sideways. I didn't wait for the water to get up to temp. I wasn't sure the water would ever get up to ...

Horned Hat from Becca's Crazy Projects

I've been sewing up fleece hats this week. I found this great pattern from Feerie Telle and just had to pick it up and make a fun hat. 
The horns are made using smaller pieces so I went through my scrap bin and picked out some blues. 
I needed to get a feel for the effect so I pinned the front of the hat to my foam head. I think they turned out just great. 
Then I finished the hat and it is so great! I'm sure I'll make a few more of these, with different colored ...

Quiltober Blocks from Becca's Crazy Projects

At the beginning of October, the Nine Patch a Day group started their annual Quiltober project. I grabbed a yard of red fabric for my constant and some of my light 2.5" strips. I used the Creative Grids Triangle ruler.
I spent October piecing these blocks until I had enough for a good-sized quilt. How many? More than 100 blocks. I need to get them up onto the design wall and sewn up into a quilt. These squares came from my overflowing bin of 2.5" charms. I didn't even make a dent in that bin. 

My favorite ...

Odds and Ends from Becca's Crazy Projects

I don't have any charity quilts to share this week so we'll start off with some random things. I pieced this fun hat using the Harico pattern from Feerie Telle. Piece with some pretty small pieces from my giant bin of fleece scraps.
I created my November cover sheet for my diary. Colored pencils and ink.
I used my long arm to create some fun texture to create fabric for a costume for an upcoming gaming event. This project is still in the works.
I also pieced this basis for a fur mantle. 
I did some hand-finished binding ...
