If you'd like to see my (license free) Handbag Patterns please look here. Thanks for your ironing board cover (IBC) tutorial requests. Calling this a tutorial might be pushing it slightly as it is outrageously easy, but then, really easy is really good right? This one is for everyone who asked for it (especially Ian, because I love it when fellas drop in for a read). You won't need to make a casing, obtain cord for ties, or even thread a cord for the casing (which is fantastic for lazy busy ol' me) because we are going to use the casing from the old IBC.
Of course, in order to follow this tutorial the casing on your old IBC will need to be intact. If it isn't you will need to make a cover with all new casing - and if that's the case check out Anna's IBC tutorial where she shows you how to start from scratch and not be lazy like me (and hers is a funky orange 70's number). My old IBC removed from it's frame. 'Well hello there pretty thing, let's slip and slide together...! " 1. 2. 3. 4. Embroidery. ***i have a new post here with some updates and announcements, please take time to read! *** here are some embroidery projects that i've been working on over the past little bit. i got the idea for this first one when we saw a tree at the tulip gardens with some initials carved into it. steven told me that when we own our own house, he'll carve our initials in it. so in the meantime, we have this one to hang in our house. i tried a brand new stitch on it, and i think it turned out rather well. i'll need a bit more practice before i'd say it was perfect, but it's not bad!
Also, i'm not sure if i want to get a very, very light tan color to embroider woodgrain on the rest of the circle. and i'm also not sure if i want to finish it off or leave the ends sticking out like that. i kind of like the rustic appeal it has, but i'm not sure if i'd like it better the other ways... Anyway, here's my second project. it's now hanging about our toilet. lol. so romantic, i know! [[do tell!]] <3katie. Stephanie's Sewn Felt Slippers - Martha Stewart Holiday & Seasonal Crafts.

Rainbow Princess Dress. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done, I'm done, I'm done! (Humming to "I'm Late" from Alice in Wonderland.) When I asked my daughter what she wanted to be for Halloween, she was very specific. She told me she wanted a "dress with a pink body and different color ruffles all the way to here. " This dress took 5 days, three different trips to the fabric store and lots of groaning and wailing on my part.
Meet the Rainbow Princess: She has 2 tutu's and a petticoat under the dress. I still need to add a hook and eye to the top of the dress.

Well, it's finally done, dammit. I mean, dangit. Done. O-V-E-R. 40 napkins complete and folded and stacked neatly in a basket in our kitchen awaiting dirty faces and greasy hands.

And finally, remember those yellow ruffled napkins I made earlier? Closed cretan stitch » Sarah's Hand Embroidery Tutorials. T-shirt latch hook rug tutorial. I really love flokati rugs. I have two that are safely tucked away in my parents basement awaiting our reunion. When I learned that I would be having a child and building a nursery for him, I wanted a flokati. A gray one. Being a flokati snob though, I knew that I couldn’t afford the price tag ( ), and I knew that I would be too precious about the rug ( ). So I chose the only sensible alternative: I would make a rug. I’m going to show you how it’s done, but let me warn you- while this rug was super inexpensive to make with the resource of money- it was very costly in the resource of time.
I have easily 60 hours invested into this rug, and many many more hours donated by family and friends. And now, this is how to make your very own latch hook rug. Supplies: Latch hook canvas latch hook tool old t-shirts scissors or rotary cutting tool/mat seam binding masking tape dye (optional) All of these things should be available at your local craft store, with the exception of the old t-shirts.

Don't laugh -- I have about a half dozen socks whose partners have mysteriously vanished. It can happen. Turn the sock inside out and flatten it the other way, so the heel is folded in half. This sock is much more picky as to what it turns into. The diagram to the left shows you what I mean. The long front half of the sock is the tail. Before cutting anything, I'll give you a bit of advice I learned the hard way: You'll notice the tail and the arms are the uppermost section. AG. Re-use. First things first! Thank you SO MUCH for all the love and well wishes on my Birthday Love List last week.
Celebrations and school were keeping me extra busy, but of course I read each comment, and every single one of them made my birthday so much better. So thank you!!! And now, on to [...] I live in an itsy bitsy cottage, freestanding – a rare point of pride in this ridiculously overpriced paradise – and in many ways falling apart. I generally try to avoid Pinterest. Boy howdy, this project. Glass straws are one of my absolute favorite plastic replacements.
