How to Draft a Custom Hoop Skirt Pattern With the Exact Shape You Want. We're going to make our drawing to scale; that is, it will be drawn to the exact measurements we need, only smaller. For instance, you could draw it so that 1" = 1/4". If I am 65" tall and want to draw my figure in 1/4" scale I would draw it 16 1/4" tall.
Choose the largest scale that will allow you to fit a figure your height on your paper. You'll be taking measurements later, and it's harder to take accurate measurements off a tiny drawing. Once you've picked what scale you'll be drawing at, stick with it all the way through. I've already got my figure drawn to scale, but here's how I got there- To begin with, draw a line at the bottom of your page to indicate the floor. Make another mark where your waist will be using your waist to floor measurement.
You can guestimate the diameter of your waist by dividing your corseted waist measurement by π (3.14). At this point I sketched in my figure from the waist up to that mark I made for the top of the head. Sun dress made from 3 mens shirts. Recycled Denim Dress. Crazy hat with earflaps! With glow in the dark highlights! Princess Leia Hooded Tank Top. This easy top is simple enough for beginners sew but looks cool enough to wear to a con. The top has one seam going down the back, a keyhole opening with hook closures at the back of the neck (authentic to the actual dress worn by Carrie Fisher in the films) and the signature waist-length hood. The fabric I used for mine was crushed panne velvet in white. Yes I know that this is not accurate but it was the only fabric I had that would work. I suggest you try a white stretchy knit like the kind they use for t-shirts if you can find it (I had some I was going to use but found out it had somehow gotten stained in storage...hence, the panne velvet version I ended up making).
You will need: -white, stretchy knit fabric - the yardage depends on how big you're making your top. I used roughly 3 yards making mine. Helpful Resources: -reference pictures -hood help -tips for handling stretch fabrics. Bias Tape Breakthrough! I have bias tape on the brain because our next Sis Boom pattern requires significant amounts of it :) . I'm not ready to spill the design details yet, but I will share my recent personal progress in bias tape making.
Generally, when a pattern calls for bias tape, I just run out and buy it. Most fabric stores carry an array of colors and widths, and I can usually find something that works for the project. But for this project, I really really really wanted to use fun prints for the bias binding. A few months ago, one of my sewing friends mentioned that I needed a bias tape maker. I'm going to take you through the bias tape making process from start to finish...don't worry, it won't take that long! Fold one of the short edges up to meet one of the long edges. Next, bring the top and bottom corners together as shown in the pic above. Now, place this most recent fold on your cutting board (which is hopefully larger and less defaced than mine). Stitch together, 1/4" the aligned edges. Chador for prayers (and around the house) | Old School Hejabi. This post will be an offshoot of my much earlier post about the Chador in Iran. The chador continues to be misunderstood by many people outside of Iran.
Even some Iranian-Americans imagine the chador to be a new post-revolutionary fad. I wanted to concentrate on the types of chadors worn for prayer (salaat/namaaz) and around the house. As previously mentioned many women, particularly traditional and/or religious Iranian women group up wearing a chador, either around the house when na-mahram guests are over or wrapped around them whilst they snooze or for their prayers, and of course, outside over a manteau, pants and scarf.
(little girl playing in her chador) House chador: Around the house the chador comes in handy in a number of ways when guests are over, particularly male guests that are considered na-mahram. They are handy to throw over you’re clothing if guests-even women guests pop by and you’re not dressed for the occasion. (Me in a house chador) Like this: Like Loading...
Making a chador | Old School Hejabi. Ive had a few inquiries about how exactly one sews a chador for some time now. But, its hard answering this because even though its a very, very simple process, unless you have a chador to use as a pattern or have seen them made enough times that you know or know someone who can show you, its not very easy explaining how one makes one. Even drawing a diagram doesnt really help. I’m sure some of you remember my post about the trial/tribulations of having an abaya shop in Khobar make me a chador? -if I had HAD my sewing machine with me in Saudi I could have popped one out in an hour or less, but I didnt. So anyway, here is, in pictures how a chador is made. Ideally you need either a-someone to measure you with the fabric draped over you lengthwise or b-already have a chador that fits, but if not, then you can probably “wing it”.
So first off, you need a fairly big, clean and tidy room to work in as you will be laying items out. Length of material to buy; Here is one I made a few weeks ago. Tutorials.

DIY Dip-Dyed Shirt. If you read A Pair & A Spare like I do, then recently you may be experiencing a intense need to dye something. Particularly, in a gradient and ombre fashion I didn’t do a pictorial step-by-step for this since it was my first time using fabric dye and it was quite a messy affair. However, if you have a look at this post by Geneve of A Pair and A Spare for Harpers Bazaar , she gives comprehensive instructions. 1. Soak the whole shirt in water. This will help the dye absorb up the shirt in a gradient fashion. a) Create three dye mixtures of equal amounts.
B) Dip the shirt in the main mixture to the desired maximum height for a minute. c) Pour one of the set aside mixtures into the main mixture. d) Dip shirt into the topped up mixture to midway of previous dip for two minutes. e) Pour the last mixture into the main mixture. f) Dip shirt into the final mixture to midway of the previous dip for five minutes. 3. 4. FYI – dying something to get rid of a stain – DOES NOT WORK.

Growing up by the beach in Southern California, the ability to knot a macrame bracelet was practically a right of passage. Although those days are long behind us, we’ve never forgotten the ever-so-simple square knot technique. This time, however, we’re replacing hemp and wooden beads for more updated elements like colorful nylon cord and glossy metal charms. Happy knotting! You’ll need: Start by cutting the knotting cord into two 30 inch, two 20 inch and one 10 inch lengths. Center the 30 inch cord under the two middle strands. Pull tightly and slide the knot up to the top. Finish the 2nd half of the square knot by folding the left cord over the middle strands and under the right cord.
Pull tightly and repeat the steps – left, right, left, right . . . To finish the knots, thread one of the cords onto a needle and sew up the center of 3-4 knots along the backside. Repeat the same step on the other cord. After sewing up both knotting cords, trim away any excess. How to Make Natural Fabric Dye. Build your own extra storage!
