The supplies explained: Fabrics: You can embroider on all kinds of fabrics, however, as a beginner you will want to do your stitching on basic cotton, cotton blend, muslin, or linen fabrics.

Often pillowcases, table runners, fabric placemats and similar items can be good to start on.Hoop: The wood embroidery hoop will keep your fabric tight while you do your stitching.

Before you begin, wash and dry the fabric you will be using. Separate the hoop into two pieces. Pleated Bow Pillowcase Dress Tutorial. This was one of those projects where I had an idea in my mind and I just went with it. Then as I started sewing, I realized that I probably should have thought it out more thoroughly. But it worked out in the end and the results turned out be to better than the image in my mind. So awesome! I made this for Elle who is 17 months.
I found this pillowcase at the thrift store and loved the pattern. I bought it for $1. This pillowcase was a regular size, not the king size like I used for the Retro Ruffle Pillowcase Dress.

Side bow sweater dress {an easy upcycle} Meg Ruth Wedding Photographers Las Vegas Blog: How To: DIY Pendant Lights. NOTICE: The video is working again! Moving into a new house is expensive, not just because we bought it but because of all the stuff we have to get for it. I'd been pining for a few pendant lamps for a while but with a budget of almost nothing and needing three lights, a $200/light purchase was not going to work.

HOW TO: DIY Pendant Lights from megruth on Vimeo . Vintage Pulley Chandelier. Lighting | Patrick Townsend. Absolutely Gorgeous DIY Aqua Chandelier.
This chandelier isn’t the first DIY chandelier made with using Mason jars but it probably the most gorgeous one. Even though for this project you’ll need to find some old chandelier the result is much more cooler than a Mason jar chandelier made with several things from IKEA and an diy outdoor chandelier with Mason jars in a basket. If you’ve managed to find a beautiful vintage chandelier to work with then drill several vintage Mason jars to screw them to the bobeches. Besides you’ll need to find several aqua crystals to decorate the chandelier and aqua glass paint to paint the chandelier and Mason jars.
After these things are done just put tea lights inside the jars and hang the gorgeous chandelier anywhere you want. I think it will work especially great as patio mood light.
