Custom made flightcase sewing/work box

A little bit of DIY & remake.
Took a custom made smaller flightcase, normally used for fragile music equipment when you travel on tour.
Very good for my purpose! It has a padded interior.

Covered the foam with a colorful fabric. Used textile glue to make the fabric stick to the surface on the bottom part of the box.

Covered buttons in the lid.

Voilá - new sewing box! Heavy duty on the outside & cute on the inside :)

Starch it! Join me in new Flickr group!

You all know I have made 3D pieces with filetcrochet and sugarwater :)

Today I started a new Flickr pool called Starch it!
My plan is for you all to join in and we can explore what we can make with this technique together.
You don't have to crochet - you can use pieces of old Doilys, filetcrocheted bedspreads & other flea market finds. We can share recipes of starch (I only know about sugar/water but I've heard about glue and potato/water etc)
What do you say?
I would love if you joined me ! Just email me or make a comment here with your email and I send you an invite to the group.

Kind crocheted regards from Inger Carina

The Craftzine blog liked the idea. I'm so excited!!! :) > Craftzine blog

Floral USB memory stick

A little more flowers in your life can't hurt... can it?

Started out with a 2Gb Usb memory stick - boring boring... had to cut of a plasic bit on the end and smooth the edges with a file.

Then I crocheted tight around it in two pieces, one top & one bottom. I used embroidery yarn (Perl) multi colored green. A little bit of what I fancy = flowers. I took linnen embroidery yarn and made random tiny leafs and flowers. (click on the image for a better view).

Sewed them all on the crocheted USB cozy cover.

It's working well and it nearly blends in to the floral background here on my work desk at home.

Sorry, I didn't mean to disappear

Hello! I'm still alive :)
Unfortunately I have to many things to do right now.. But I'm working on two mini craft projects - hope to finish and post them this week.

Hope everyone is having a good time in the summer weather!
