Lucky Penny Hawkings Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Tell me I've come to the right place for introductions of the new person persuasion? Stumbled in here, hope that if I stumble out, I will do so very happily. Promise I won't leave my sewing lying around, but I don't promise I won't prop up any passed-out pirates and use them as dummies. -Lucky Penny "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.

Lucky Penny Hawkings Posted August 28, 2003 Author Share Posted August 28, 2003 Welcome aboard,lass...'ere's one from the crew, enjoy, and if'n you are a seamstress, we'ere in need 'o one.. That's what I am, in my own fashion. Cheaper than buying, and if you have a mind to steal someone's coat, sometimes y'gotta do some work to keep it from fallin' over your hands. Though there be those who like that sorta look.... I can't be the only one able to wield a needle, however, am I? "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.

Mad Maudlin McCrumb Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Indeed, greetings lass! I, too, do a fair amount of sewing. I recently finished a captain's coat for my husband, and BOY does he look DASHING! What a pain, though.. llots of hand sewing, but it was worth every stitch!! Welcome aboard!!

Bloody nightmare it is, but worth it in the end. I have one coat that I just..well, nearly finished. It needs its collar and some trims t' look right proper, but I have to find the trims that'll be both nice looking and won't cost much. There's gotta be some scurvy dog whose clothes I can pilfer from... If yer inclined to see it, it's here: http://www.lara-goth.com/vallejoinvasion/i...es/DSC02728.jpg It's from the bloody side, and it's blurry..and nay, yer eyes are workin' right, it's sideways too...but ye get what I was tryin' ta do. Next on the list, among other things: that bloody scoundrel Captain Jack Sparrow's jacket... "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.

But don't you just hate it when ye run out of thread two inches before yer done? Argggghhhh! Happened to me the other night, luv. Was working on a Mina Harker (League of Extraordinary Gents) scarf, and ran out of my thread halfway through. I need to stop and get more before the weekend, as I plan to try to finish that costume so I'm not in a rush come Halloween. Now..the biggest problem I have...is forgettin' how t' thread my machine. I don't think I've ever threaded it the same way twice in the two years I've had it!! "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.

Rumba Rue Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Ah yes, I know well of machines. Mine be a Bernina (an old 1010), that gets a wee bit tempermental sometimes and just screws up, cuz it can! About to start working on my frock coat. Did a test pattern first that I sewed together (according to the instructions) to make sure everything was good. Ah, maybe by Christmas it might be done...I'm one of those crazy people who loves to do fine beadwork, so I'll be plying my craft to the coat which of course will take some mighty long time to do.

Rumba Rue Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Fine job on your coat. But tell me, it looks like you had the picture taken in a doctor's office....is that the case? Hmmmmm, if so, I bet you had the patients running out the door with all those needles and thread! LOL! RumbaRue **Sewed to bloody blind** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine be a Bernina (an old 1010), that gets a wee bit tempermental sometimes and just screws up, cuz it can! Old Singer here. Needs a visit to the doctor, as it were. Probably needs some oiling and maintenance... I'm one of those crazy people who loves to do fine beadwork, so I'll be plying my craft to the coat which of course will take some mighty long time to do. Your patience is far stronger than my own on that sort of thing. Of course, when I made my jacket for my Lucius Malfoy coat, I hand sewed each buttonhole, so I really shouldn't talk... I think it depends on what I need, my time frame, and what is going on at the time. The pirate coat isn't hemmed and doesn't even have a collar. But I was told it added to the character of the coat that way.. *shifty eyes* What the bloody thing needs is a few good dunks in some sea muck to make it right dirty and disgusting.

Hmmmmm, if so, I bet you had the patients running out the door with all those needles and thread! Actually that was my friend's apartment. *snicker* I have a better one of me that looks...well, the best way I can describe it is that it looks FAR more Jack Sparrow than I was intending to look that day. But I hate my vest in it. I grabbed the bloody thing at the last minute, and realized there was another one I should have grabbed instead. But it doesn't look like I'm chasin' people around with my sewing effects..so.... "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.

Ye DO look like our wonderful Cap'n! Which for being a lass is pretty disturbing. So I'm not JACK Sparrow. I'm JILL Sparrow...the much less famous yet near-equally entertaining cousin..thrice removed. The one who somehow can't get away from the color green. Tolerable singing voice however. Especially when drunk. ..and watch the needles. It's been a day at work...thus the silliness "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.
