Weaving PLUS sewing makes a bag

When weaving a scarf now on the 

sampler rigid heddle loom. I add extra 

warp so I have some fabric after I have finished 

to use on other projects. So 

when i wove a scarf in this pink/black yarn

I also had enough over to make a couple of pockets for bags.

But discovering that it was not wide enough for my bag

pattern, I had to rethink it and so i thought i would make 

an extra pocket for the bag on the other side and 

I added machine stitching on the fabric part of the bag to 

match with the weaving .

What would be SteamPunk without a...................

Hmm let me see

a 

ROBOT!

yes for those that follow my blog might 

have remembered seeing the Lego robot

3d paper i made (HERE and HERE) 

when i decided i wanted to do a steampunk one. 

I set to turning it into a steampunk lego robot.

And here is more views of our artwork table by Neal and me

Great start to the day Steam punk

Had a great day and now looking

 forward to next years. 

Though the day did not go as smooth all day

as within 15 minutes of the festival starting.

The smoke tunnel set off the fire alarm.

So we all ended up being evacuated 

till the fire brigade turned up to give us the 

OK to return to halls.

(P.S. the smoke behind us there is from the 

blacksmiths not the hall LOL)

 Everyone waiting for the alarm to be turned off

added to the day (BUT IT WAS COLD OUT THERE!)

Steam punk Teapot race (with winner of best decorated)

A bit of fun in the afternoon was the 

teapot race.

Neal's (my husband) entry

Steam punk outfit

OK it was our first time to this type 

of event and this is how we went.

(nothing like somepeople dressed WOW they all looked

FANTASTIC)

I put the gears on Neal's tie with brads 

Even mt teapot from yesterdays post

wanted to be seen again

 Made his jacket many years ago

And his bike helmet fit the theme of 

the day

I managed at the last minute this past week to embroider a 

steam punk spinning wheel from Urban threads

and make it into a jacket to wear

Steam Punk Tea Pot

I used Svg cuts tea for two set.

and cut the teapot at just over double the size and 

used tim holtz steam punk embossing folders 

to emboss all the gold panels , added a few metal 

gears on the lid of the teapot .

Cutting these on the force makes it all a lot quicker.

The tea pot is in black card board, with gold trims and stands 12inches tall

car. I was soo happy to be out of that second hand shop...

 It was a fun trip home (well till i started to hear

Susan talking about my outcome!) Ekks don't want to 

go into that house!!

 OH what was I worried about this is a comfortable 

computer chair I can get used to this.

 HANG ON ! Susan why are you looking at my back?

 She is looking at me . 

What is that she has in her hand?

 Scissors!

 OH NO HELPPPPPP

Look what Susan did to me!

 I feel deflated now.

 She turned me inside out 

OH NO WHAT NEXT?

 Looks like I am going for another ride.

 OUCH, OUCH

 That ride took a lot of time and was no 

fun at all!

 Glad to be out of the ride .

 WOW Look at me I have writing and 

jewels all over me !

 OH it is soo sparkly

 OH that is better I am all stuffed again.

But I do feel a bit strange still .

 Looking a little more like myself.

 "ARE WE BEAR YET"

Susan think I am still missing something?

 OH OH and a brand new bow. 

Thank you !

 So glad I was brought from the second hand shop 

for just $3, been given a new look and will be loved.
