Craftster user Cya made this great 8-bit Final Fantasy patch on her embroidery machine. Being a fairly new owner of an embroidery machine, I am super impressed that she made something with so many different colors… not easy on that machine!

Craftster user melyssa_marie made this super costume for her boyfriend of a Headcrab Zombie from Valve’s Half-Life. The crab itself is made from vinyl and paint. She was so clever with the guts on the shirt…a fake apple split in half and a fake loaf of bread!

P.S. She made her present costume too, which cracks me up because my parents did that to me when I was five. It was horrible because in kindergarten that day we were cutting out shapes to make Halloween mobiles and I couldn’t cut because I could barely move my arms. Childhood tragedies.
