Horse Applique Shirt
!
Step One: Print out the horse template (click here for template) and cut out the shape.
Step Two: Iron the fusible webbing onto the back of the fabric you intend to use for the horse. Follow the directions for the webbing you are using. Do not peel off the back.
Step Three: Trace the horse template onto the plastic back of the webbing.
Step Four: Cut out the fabric into the horse shape you just traced.
Step Five: Peel the plastic backing off the fabric. I found it was easiest to start on the horse's rump.
Step Six: Position the horse into place on the shirt. Be sure to consider the tail in your placement.
Step Seven: Follow the directions for the fusible webbing to adhere the horse to the shirt. I pressed with a damp cloth for 10 seconds using an iron set to the wool setting.
Step Eight: Stitch along the border of the horse, being careful not to sew through the back of the shirt. Then add the yarn to the mane and tail of the horse. I looped the same strand of yarn for this, feeding it into the machine as I went along.
Step Nine: Trim the mane and tail to a nice length.
That's all there is to it! You can make any kind of animal or shape you want, depending on the templates you can find in books or on the Internet. Or why not get creative and make your own shape? -Mandi

2016 Dodge Viper Gets New Matte Paint Option
2016 Dodge Viper Gets New Matte Paint Option
Dodge is expanding its “1 of 1” Viper Customization Program with a new matte-finish paint option, available in all exclusive “1 of 1” program and standard production colors.
The new matte finish basically doubles Viper’s custom “1 of 1” exterior paint options to 16,000 exterior colors and 48,000 unique strip combinations, which means owners now have more than 50 million unique build configurations to choose from. In addition to matte-finish exterior paint, Viper customers can now choose between satin chrome or satin black badging and fuel filler door for a more sinister appearance.
First seen on the Anodized Carbon Viper special edition model, the matte-finish exterior paint will be offered beginning with the 2016 model year production. Orders for the new matte finish equipped Vipers will open at Dodge dealerships in July.
All 2016 Dodge Viper models are also available with stripes. GT, GTC, GTS and ACR models offer optional “GTS” stripes that run the length of the car from the front to rear fascia. The SRT and GTC models are available with “SRT” stripes on the clamshell hood, roof and rear hatch. Viper GTC and ACR models are available with the ACR center band and driver’s side stripe.
Exterior stripes are offered in Black Venom, Billet Silver, Bright White, Gunmetal Pearl and Adrenaline Red. More hues can be chosen from the custom “1 of 1” color palette. Each “1 of 1” Viper GTC also features a personalized instrument panel badge with the customer’s chosen name, as well as satin chrome or satin black badging and fuel filler door.
To make sure than the “1 of 1” program sticks to its promise of exclusivity, no two customers can order the same configuration, including color, in the same model year.
Fisker Looking To Restart Karma Production In The U.S.A.
Fisker Looking To Restart Karma Production In The U.S.A.A
new and improved Fisker Karma is set to be manufactured in a facility located in Southern California.
It seems that Wanxiang Group Corp, a Chinese auto-parts giant that now owns Fisker Automotive and Technology Group, is looking to restart production of the hybrid sedan in a new factory located in the city of Moreno Valley, California.
The state of the art, 555,670 square-foot plant will be leased by Fisker and will provide 150 job opportunities for the city’s residents. Furthermore, the company also intends to feature a showroom in the facility and provide tours of the car manufacturing process.
After filing for bankruptcy, Fisker was acquired by China’s auto-parts giant - Wanxiang Group Corp - in 2014 for $149.2 million. Since then, the company was constantly determined to re-launch its activity, but always came short due to unforeseen circumstances.
Initially built in Finland, the car-company has decided that the new Karma will be solely manufactured and constructed in U.S. as Jim Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer of Fisker, stated:
“Fisker believes in the quality, work ethic and competitiveness of manufacturing in the USA. California's natural beauty, trend setting, technology, and environmental focus are perfectly aligned with our Karma re-launch.”
Truth be told, the State of California has a history supporting electric cars and this could come as an aid for Fisker’s plan.
The date of the official launch remains unknown, but perhaps by the end of 2016, Karmas will be swarming off the production line. Mind you, Wanxiang initially wanted to resume production of the Karma by the end of 2014 and then again by mid-2015; so, taking this into account, we can't speculate on an exact date, since the company rushes to announce things way too eagerly.

Aston's CEO Presents Mako-Blue Aston Martin DBX Concept
Aston's CEO Presents Mako-Blue Aston Martin DBX Concept
Have you ever wondered how Aston’s luxury GT crossover would look like in a lighter, softer color?
Although we already have confirmation from Aston Martin Lagonda that the DBX will eventually enter series production (possibly in a different form), after seeing some tweets directly from Astons CEO, Andy Palmer, we wish the car would retain its two-door format.
Andy Palmer pointed out at Geneva that the DBX is “not a production-ready sports GT car”, which means there’s a chance that the real deal won’t look anything like this concept.
So, let’s take advantage of the car’s graceful lines while we still can, with a color that really compliments its coupe shape and short-wheel-base. Named “Mako-Blue” the paint-job seems to offer a sense of aristocracy and as the CEO himself stated: “the new colour on the Aston Martin DBX makes the design highlights really pop!”
Well, in contrast with the polished roof-line, it does make the car less serious.
The series production DBX will be probably built in an entirely new facility – in the U.S. – with a £200 million investment ($316 million). It’s not exactly known what it will carry under the hood, but we’re thinking an AMG engine should do the trick.
