Is it safe to paint batteries?

I'm considering a build with exposed double-A batteries. Would it be safe to paint them in order to obscure the brands and make them look a little more homebrew? Or would the paint interfere with…Continue

I know there's about a million sources of cheap goggles for the making over, but what about lenses? If I want specific colored lenses, is it possible to tint them myself while still leaving them…Continue

Jane Caruana replied to Yamikuronue's discussion Has anyone used Simplicity 2851?"I've started working on this now - cutting it out is awful, perhaps it's just me but I'm really finding I have to read ahead just to figure out what needs doing, have spent 2 1/2 hours pinning & cutting so far & am still at…"
Jane Caruana replied to Yamikuronue's discussion Has anyone used Simplicity 2851?"Simplicity patterns live up to their name - Vogue patterns tend to be a lot more complicated :)

Jane Caruana replied to Yamikuronue's discussion Has anyone used Simplicity 2851?"I made it just to say I had made the whole outfit, really. When I make this design again (in green silk) I'm not going to bother. I also wore the outfit with Simplicity 5794 (cloak) which I made in black cotton velvet with the hood…"
Lenora Odessa Spaulding replied to Yamikuronue's discussion Has anyone used Simplicity 2851?"Your version looks awesome! I also have mine among my photos on my page - made it up in olive taffeta.
Good to know that the jacket is pretty easy. I've only ever made one incredibly simple Vogue jacket pattern (been sewing for a little over a…"
Yamikuronue replied to Yamikuronue's discussion Has anyone used Simplicity 2851?"ooh, that's gorgeous! I should post my photos when I get home"
Jane Caruana replied to Yamikuronue's discussion Has anyone used Simplicity 2851?"I was nervous about making up the jacket, but it was actually quite easy. The bustle was hard, again - ruffles, however, with my shape not required so I ended up not wearing it. I have posted a photo on my page of the outfit, I made it…"
Yamikuronue replied to Yamikuronue's discussion Has anyone used Simplicity 2851?"I did the skirt in black with red trim to match a corset I'd purchased, and bought a black shirt from Wal-mart (since so little of it shows under the corset, it ended up looking fantastic). I thought about making the jacket, but ended up not…"
Lenora Odessa Spaulding replied to Yamikuronue's discussion Has anyone used Simplicity 2851?"I've made the skirt of that one too and I agree - a tremendous number of ruffles! When I had the ruffle sewn together before I attached the two parts, I couldn't believe they would go together.
I have yet to make the jacket (and I'm…"
Yamikuronue replied to Yamikuronue's discussion Has anyone used Simplicity 2851?"I've made that one... so many ruffles! I thought I'd never be done with them XD But it looks fantastic on me full-length. "
Jane Caruana replied to Yamikuronue's discussion Has anyone used Simplicity 2851?"I have the pattern but haven't made it up yet - I was wanting to combine the top of A with the skirt of C. I have, however, made up Simplicity 2207, which (I think) looks great, you could consider making the skirt shorter & wearing it…"
Lenora Odessa Spaulding replied to Yamikuronue's discussion Has anyone used Simplicity 2851?"The notations for B and C are definitely weird, but I've seen that kind of "yardage for individual pieces" on some Simplicity patterns that involve a lot of interchangeable elements, especially costumes and Project Runway…"
Yamikuronue replied to Yamikuronue's discussion Has anyone used Simplicity 2851?"I'm definitely going this week :) I was looking at the back of the envelope on the website: http://www.simplicity.com/p-1769-costumes.aspx#t-1 View A seems to have yardage per size, but views B and C do not, at least for the bodice,…"
Lenora Odessa Spaulding replied to Yamikuronue's discussion Has anyone used Simplicity 2851?"I went out yesterday and bought almost all of those same patterns, along with 1772 and 2525! Then I came home and saw your post - I do love a good pattern sale at Joann's.
As for Yamikuronue's question: I'm not sure which view…"
Clockwork Rabbit replied to Yamikuronue's discussion Has anyone used Simplicity 2851?"I just purchased one today - JoAnn Fabrics had Simplicity on sale for 99 cents. I also got Nos. 1819, 2172, and 2757.
My mom used to sew everyday clothes for me on occasion and she would always purchase extra fabric so I picked up that habit. The…"

A pleasure to make your aquaintance, Ms. Bailey. I do hope to see you and your special someone Sunday. Many of the people attending have an interest in costume creation, so there will be lots to talk about!
