I am so excited to be guest posting here today. It just so happens to be my first guest post and I'm still a little shocked that it's here at Ucreate, one of my favorite blogs! A little bit about me.. I'm from a little town called Keller, Texas. I'm a junior at Texas A&M University (whoop!). I'm working on my education degree and expect to be an elementary school teacher in just two short years. When I'm not busy studying for classes, I love to sew. I just started blogging in May and have already met all kinds of wonderful women, I hope you'll stop by and say hi too!
Watermark Tee Tutorial What I love about this project is that it's completely customizable. Materials: Elmer's Blue Gel Glue (it must be the blue gel, white won't work) Fabric Dye (RIT is my tried and true brand) A white cotton Tee, Tank, Dress etc. Tutorial: No-Sew Projects to Make with Old T-Shirts or Tank Tops. Be thrifty and green by trying your hand at one of the projects at the links below that you can make with a t-shirt or a tank top, no sewing required!
No Sew Dress Turn an oversized T into a dress for a night out on the town with no sewing or cutting and wear as T again. Cut Out Neckline Give your t-shirt a whole new look with strategic cuts around the neckline. Fused Plastic Bags on T-Shirt For a different and temporary look, you could fuse plastic bags to a T. Fun Fringed Necklace Make a fun fringed necklace with a t-shirt a t-shirt and scissors using a tutorial. You can add beads to the creation to give it a different look. Corseted Back T-Shirt All you need is a pair of scissors and a t-shirt. Green...Easy Knit Produce Bag. Re-purposing: Tshirts into 5-strand-braided-headbands. I was walking through Target a few weeks ago and noticed this little knit fabric headband that was not just braided together…….but woven.
I decided they were charging way too much for something that could be made with t-shirt scraps. And that means free. So there you have it. A nice and easy project to give my bad-hair-day head some love. (Or you may need one for working out. I kinda love it on my little girl . She always has little hair fly-aways that get into her face…….and this helps with that problem. It even works great with her hair down…..and keeps that hair tucked behind her ears. And yep, good for me too. Thanks little t-shirt scraps. Want to make your own? First, find some old t-shirts. Then, cut your fabric into long strips. Next, stack your 5 strips on top of each other and sew together at one end. Now, pull on each strip of fabric so that they kind of curl on the edges.
But let me explain a little better. First, you’ll work on the left side. And that’s it. This post is sponsored by:
