Flower Brooch. * French Pouf Accessory : Pin, Belt, Hair from Ban.do * Okay, to be honest, this wasn’t exactly a reader request MIY but when Holly {who is planning her wedding} posted about it here, I was very inspired to make it for her as a little wedding gift. But since I couldn’t find the exact peachy-nude chiffon as shown in the inspiration photos I had to settle for a soft, baby pink, which Holly may not be interested in. So Holly, if you like, I can make you one in either an ivory or a light gray. It’s up to you. * Half a yard of chiffon fabric in color of choice.* Half a yard of tulle {you’ll use less}* Scissors* Matching thread & a needle* I pin back * Create Circles by folding the edges of your chiffon & tulle over about 3 inches {The original flower is 7″ diameter so I made mine the same.
. * I used about 28 chiffon circles {half of one yard of fabric} and between 10-14 tulle circles. * Run a stitch through each of them, forming a pseudo-circle. Have Fun!
Plushies. Pillows. Clothing. Cute Little Girls Dress. I am more than thrilled to tell you who I have invited today! Are you all ready? Disney from Ruffles and Stuff!! I love her feminine, approachable style and she always has great step by step tutorials on her blog. Oh, and she has really cute pictures of her and her assistant model. Enjoy! I don't know if the weather is getting summery where you live, but we're finally starting to feel the warmth here, and I am getting so excited about the next season! In my mind, summertime is synonymous with the beach! I wanted to come up with a project that really said "summer" to me, and so here it is! The "Beachcomber" Dress Made entirely from white cotton jersey... With "rope" straps and belt. It will knock your socks off to know how easy it is to make!
To own the truth, I actually made mine from one of my husband's new white undershirts (Shhh!) If you're making up to a 3T you can do the same! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. And don't forget the belt! All done! Wear it with the belt, wear it without.... Little Girls Shirt. Here’s yet another way to spice up your t-shirts when you get a little bored with the plainness of them all. I did this a few weeks ago to two of my plain tees.
I’m threatening to do this on all of the t-shirts I own. Seriously. Watch out! This little ruching technique takes literally 2 minutes; the perfect way to jazz up an outfit on your way out the door. Here we go: Materials: Fitted Tee Sewing Machine Coordinating thread Elastic thread Scissors Magic Erase Fabric Pen (not pictured) Cut the collar off: only cut a little around the back & cut more around the front to make a deeper neckline. Find the center of the front collar. HAND wind your bobbin with elastic thread. Turn your tee inside out and pull on the elastic thread until your shirt is as rouched as you’d like.
Trim loose ends after securing the thread in place with a square knot. Dab the front of your shirt with water and a Q-tip to erase the magic marker line. FINI! Circle Zip Earbud Pouch. I use a little zippered pouch to carry around my earbuds since they are the fancy microphone ones and I don’t want them to break or get tangled. Some of you have commented that you are looking for some small, simple gift ideas. This is definitely simple to make, and a little more fun than the typical rectangular zippered pouch! I can see these as the perfect gift for teenage cousins or nieces or girlfriends or even teacher gifts. Fun, quick, and cute! It doesn’t take very much fabric so you could even use scraps! UPDATE: I have completely re-written this tutorial with twice as many bright, clear photos and more detailed instructions and it is available as a pattern in my pattern shop.
First, download the pattern template HERE. Cut from main fabric: 1 circle 2 half circles 1 tab Cut from lining fabric: 1 circle 2 half circles Cut from batting (or medium weight interfacing, if you prefer): 1 circle 2 half circles You will also need a 1″ wide nylon 5″ or longer zipper. Time to sew! Tardis Tissue Box Cozy. UPDATE: This blog post has gone around some, which is awesome, but I know these instructions are a little fly-by-night.
If you want any help please feel free to comment and I will respond. It had to be done. It's so obvious that it's even been done before. This is my interpretation, made for the Great Geek Swap. My swapper partner likes Dr. The BBC has actually copyrighted the TARDIS design, which is one of those interesting copyright oddities since clearly this "design" was just borrowed from actual police boxes designed for the London PD. Supplies:20x20" Fusible interfacing1/4 yd Dark denim1/4 yd liningSilver Satin (scraps)Embroidery floss (white and navy)Print n Press transfer paper (dark fabric)Sewing Machine, denim needle & navy threadBead for top light1 5.5x5.5" cardboard square I wanted to do a more detailed HOWTO, but my process got changed and convoluted somewhere along the way so this is the best I can muster.
And here's the sign I used (with Print n Press transfer paper). IPod Case. EDIT: I'm finally done with the tutorial!! Yay!! Thank you to everyone for all of the wonderful compliments and for being so patient with me So I got the new nano for my birthday in October and found out that no one makes cases for this model yet So like any good craftster I took matters in to my own hands.. This is a lot of firsts for me...first post , first felt project, first iPod cozy....I'm so excited with how it turned out that I had to share!
Hope I did this right! Before we get a move on with this, I wanted to let you know that this version is a little bigger than my first one. Problem solved So it's just a matter of preference. I use the white glue to tack My knots so they don't come unraveled You will need: Edit: If you are making this without the aid of an iPod the 3g measurements are as follows- Height: 2.75"Width: 2.06"Depth: 0.26" Creating Your Pattern: Print out the star shape and using you iPod/Mp3 player make sure that it is the right size. Yay! Putting it all together: Paper iPhone Covers. I found this clever trick on Pinterest the other week from Oops I Craft My Pants and had to try it for myself: iPhone covers using scrapbook paper! Now when I had my first cell phone in high school (the old Nokia), I probably had about 15 different cell phone covers that I would switch out to match my clothes everyday!
I figure this scrapbook paper iPhone phone cover is an easy way to update my phone without spending all the cash! First thing I did was purchase a couple sheets of scrapbook paper from Michael’s. I also purchased a clear iPhone 4 cover from Best Buy. You could really purchase any cheap clear phone cover, but I wanted one with protective rubber sides since I’m a klutz and always drop my phone! First thing I did was trace the scrapbook paper around the iPhone cover to get the basic shape. I cut out the main section just using a pair of scissors. For the camera hole I used a pencil to sketch in the hole that I had to cut out using an exacto knife…. and that’s about it!
