I have two weaknesses that I get into trouble. One is that I eat too much chocolate, and the other is that I overindulge when fabric shopping. When I go to a fabric store, I am attracted by colors, flash, texture, fringes and embellishments! I might need to do some shopping or simply elastic thread, but I'll leave a dozen samples of fabric and finishes of fantasy that I was not expecting to buy. How can I justify this purchase apparently useless? Now, create for my mobileBarbie and Ken dolls! Normally I include a set comfortable furniture, a sofa, chair, ottoman and coordinating pillows. You can doll furniture for his design, too. Here are some fun ideas to try:
1 Start with what you have. Although I like to buy new materials, first I go through my inventory of scrap fabric to see what I have that might be useful. In one case I had a geometric pattern of yellow, blue and purple for the chair. Then I useda solid color for the purple couch. I took a stool and pillows with these two materials together with additional materials.
Find 2 more pieces of fabric that coordinate with the two main materials used for sofa and chair. Go for something with fur or gloss to add structure and diversity. These substances are used to increase the stool and pillow, the interest on the general style of the complex mobile.
Buy 3 fabric! Sometimes you do not have anything insupplies, furniture that fits your idea of ??design. For example, I wanted to create a theme jungle with faux snake skin, but I did not fake python. Now he had an excuse to go shopping and buy.
Use 4 to personalize your iron-on transfers to your pillow and ottoman. Find a photo and print it on special transfer paper to iron on the fabric. Craft stores often have many transfer papers to choose from. I think the best cotton fabrics for a project like this. For mySnake mobile fake, I decided to add a large tiger on top of the Ottoman Empire. I managed to do with this sheet of transfer. I also know a little 'design on the front of an iron pillow. This is especially the furnishings with a unique quality.
5 Add trims and other embellishments. If you store in a tissue, you are finally an excuse to buy some of these beautiful moldings. You know the ones I'm talking about. You walk in and see all the island structureTypes of lace, fur, pearls, ribbons and bows, but never a reason to justify the splurge. Now you have a reason, so do not hesitate to choose one or two meters. In one case, I installed a pair of jeans, furniture. It 'been fun to indulge in the luxury of leather and leather accents.
6 If you are planning to display or sell your furniture, try to design a gown for the Barbie doll, with the same or coordinating fabrics. Then, his place on the sofa or chair, so that potential buyers can see whatthe actual extent or size of the institution. Once you improve your doll dressed in a matching presentation, and people will be very impressed.
7 Realize that this will be the opportunity to be creative and let your imagination guide. Fabrics that do not normally play together. Sew a pair of fringes in unexpected places. Lots of fun and laughter along the path. So I came across some bright green and pink zebra fabric in the sale section of a fabric store. It 'been a while'wild for my taste, but made a sharp eye doll bed. I matched with a bright pink vinyl chair, and looked great.
Now you know how can I justify my weakness for fabric shopping. So, how do I justify my weakness for eating too much chocolate? Well, I really need a good reason?
